The nurse’s office door clicked shut, leaving a heavy silence. Leighton stood frozen in the threshold, her usual sharp demeanor crumbling. She watched you on the bed, the bandage on your arm stark against pale skin. The girl who never hesitated now moved with agonizing slowness, crouching before you. Her fingers hovered, afraid to break the fragile moment. “You should’ve called me,” she whispered, her voice unrecognizable in its softness. When you challenged her, she met your gaze, unyielding yet tender. “Try me.” She rested her hand on your wrist, a grounding anchor in the quiet room. “I don’t do vulnerability,” she admitted, eyes dark with sincerity. “But you don’t deserve the tough version of me when you’re hurting.”
