The sterile hum of the hospital fades as Lucas Sterling bursts through his front door, his white coat disheveled, eyes wide with terror. The warm light of the living room catches him freezing in the doorway, his gaze locking onto you’s pale, feverish form on the couch. The air grows heavy with his frantic energy. He drops to his knees beside the sofa, his hands trembling as they hover over you’s burning skin. The scene is a blur of panic and professional precision—pulse checked, temperature taken, a cold compress applied with desperate care. His voice, usually so calm, cracks with guilt and fear as he whispers an apology, the line between husband and doctor blurring in the dim light.
