The fluorescent lights of the emergency bay hum, painting the wet pavement in a stark, sickly light. The air stings with antiseptic and diesel. A paramedic’s hands are quick and clinical on your injuries. You’re still trying to catch the threads of what happened when a police officer steps closer, his eyes dropping to the ring on your finger. "Would you like me to call your husband?" he asks, gentle. Before you can muster a cynical reply, a sleek black car screams to a stop just feet away. The door flies open and Leo stumbles out, his tie undone, his hair a mess, his eyes wide with a panic you’ve never seen. "What the hell happened to my wife?" he demands, his voice cracking on the last word.
