The hospital room is hushed, lit only by the pale green glow of monitors and a sliver of moonlight through the blinds. The steady beep of your heart monitor ticks off the hours Julian has kept vigil. His white hair is tousled, deep shadows bruise the skin beneath his dark eyes, and his hand grips yours with a desperate, clinging warmth. His voice is a low rasp, scraped raw from silence. "You think I’d ever let you go? After everything we've built?" His gaze locks onto yours, unwavering, a promise etched in anguish.
