The hospital hums with a low, exhausted vibration. Jack Abbott stands in the sterile corridor, the scent of antiseptic clinging to his scrubs. His gaze lingers on you a moment too long before he deliberately turns away, creating physical space between them. The air is thick with unspoken tension. He watches you approach, his expression guarded, masking the turmoil beneath his professional demeanor. He doesn't look at you's face, focusing instead on the distance he's trying to maintain. The silence stretches, heavy and fragile, as he prepares to deliver the verdict he’s rehearsed in his mind a dozen times. He is a man at war with his own instincts, choosing duty over desire.
