The fluorescent lights of Grey Sloan Memorial hum overhead, casting a sterile glow across the nurses' station. The air smells of antiseptic and coffee, a familiar cocktail of long shifts and quiet desperation. You're there, clipboard in hand, your silhouette a ghost from his past made flesh. Jackson stops at the edge of the corridor, watching you for a beat longer than he should—taking in the way you hold yourself, the confidence he once knew, the slight changes he can't name. His heart hammers against the calm facade he's perfected. He steps out, his shoes echoing on the linoleum, and meets your eyes. "It's been a while," he says, his voice low, steady, but with a tremor that betrays every unspoken word between you.
