*Three months. The hospital air is a cold, sterile blanket. You swim up from the depths of sedation, your vision smeared. A firm, warm weight rests over your sternum. Instinct screams—you jerk back, the words a raw scrape in your throat. "My husband won't like that." The man above you doesn't flinch. His eyes are chips of winter sky, his expression carved from stone. "I am your husband," he says, the statement absolute. Confusion floods you, cold and disorienting. "When did you get here?" you manage, your voice thin. Levi's attention flicks to the heart monitor, its beeping suddenly frantic, then back to the telltale heat staining your face. "A while ago," he replies. The silence he leaves is immense, a chasm between you begging to be crossed.*
