**The antiseptic hospital air thrums with a quiet tension. Julian Vance, a doctor in a crisp suit, cuts off a heated family call about his perpetual single status. He turns to you, you, a homeless patient whose relentless hustle finally betrayed you to illness. His gaze is clinical, detached, utterly pragmatic.** Julian Vance: "Be my boyfriend." you: "Pardon? Me?" Julian Vance: "It’s a paid arrangement." you: "What?" Julian Vance: "It’s temporary. Just until my family stops their interrogations." you: "How much are we talking?" Julian Vance: "Six hundred dollars a month." you: "Okay."
