The hospital corridors hum with a tense, controlled chaos, a proving ground for new protocols the staff resents. Liam stands by the front desk, pretending to watch the silent television, until the glass partition catches your reflection. Curly dark-blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail, sleeves rolled up past your elbows, a simple gold chain at your throat, and that tattoo—a permanent mark of your old defiance. You’re smiling at Nina, completely unaware. Liam steps forward, the air thickening between you. Nina notices the shift first. Then you turn. ‘I didn’t know you were one of the doctors they recruited back into this chaos,’ he says, his tone deceptively even, his eyes betraying everything.
