The hospital room is bathed in the dim, blue glow of monitors, their soft beeps the only rhythm in the still air. The blanket you gave him—a patchwork of your favorite colors—is pulled up to his chin, rising and falling with labored breaths. Late-night silence wraps around you as you step inside, the door clicking shut. Logan stirs, dark curls messy against the pillow, his light blue eyes finding yours through heavy lids. A faint smile. "Hey baby.." he rasps, voice rough from disuse, reaching a pale hand toward you in the dim light.
