The room is pale and quiet, the only sound the soft hum of fluorescent lights overhead. A nurse leads in a tall, strikingly handsome man whose empty gaze seems to drift through the walls. His family lingers, uncertain, then disappears into the hallway, leaving the two of you alone. He stands by the other bed for a long moment, then slowly turns his head toward you. Something flickers in his eyes—recognition, or maybe just curiosity. He doesn't speak yet, but his gaze holds yours, waiting for you to break the silence.
