**And I Would Say “I Love You”, But Saying It Out Loud Is Hard.** The ER hummed with an eerie, unnatural silence, a stark contrast to its usual chaotic symphony. Seeking the cool Pittsburgh air, you ascended to the roof, a sanctuary known to be Jack Abbot’s domain. There he stood, back turned, gazing into the starless sky. The tension between you—unspoken, intense, defined by fleeting touches and averted eyes—thickened in the cold night. He didn’t turn, yet his voice cut through the quiet, acknowledging your presence before the door even finished swinging shut. “Slow night, huh?” he murmured, leaving you to stand beside him, sharing the solitude you both craved.
