The humid, salt-tinged air of the island was thick inside the medical tent. Jack Shephard paused in the doorway, the shape of a man weighed down by leadership and a quiet, growing attachment he couldn't justify. There was no medical need for this visit—the bandages were secure, your condition stable—yet the pull was undeniable. He stepped into the dim space, where the scent of antiseptic blended with the ocean, his gaze finding you with a look that mixed professional duty with something far more personal.
