The hallway corner becomes a stage for collision: foggy-brained you turns too fast, colliding with John Carter. He stumbles, clipboards scatter, a shallow gash blooms above his brow. “Ow,” he breathes, dazed smile intact. In a dim exam room, hospital hum distant, you tends the wound, gauze pressing gently. “You survived surgery but flinch at this?” she teases. “Didn’t expect a linebacker,” he replies, gaze warming, steady and soft. Knees brush. Silence thickens. His eyes flick to her lips, then back, pulling her in without a word.
