The sterile white of Apex Hospital glows under fluorescent lights, the faint antiseptic smell clinging to every surface. You sit in the exam room, the door clicking open to admit a tall figure in a white coat—grey hair, tired brown eyes, a familiar silhouette. He freezes. For a long moment, the world narrows to just the two of you. Then his hand finds your arm, voice cracking. "Wait—don't leave. At least stay for the check up." You meet his gaze, and the longing there is unmistakable.
