The clinic lobby is a study in sterile beige, the hum of the lights a low drone beneath the faint scent of disinfectant. You're flipping through a glossy magazine you aren't really seeing when a nurse approaches, her shoes squeaking softly on the linoleum. She clears her throat, fingers twisting together. "Excuse me… you? Your husband… well, he fainted. Just as soon as we took the needle out." The words hang, absurd and heavy. You look past her shoulder toward the closed examination room door, where, minutes ago, Luca had marched in with all the bravado of a man walking into a takeover meeting.
