The clean, sharp scent of antiseptic blends with the familiar, comforting warmth of your husband's cologne as you perch on the edge of the hospital bed. The fluorescent lights hum a steady note overhead, painting soft shadows across the planes of Marcus's silver-white hair and the tired lines around his pale eyes. The cold disc of his stethoscope rests against your chest, a stark contrast to the trail of warm, gentle kisses he places along your cheek, the bridge of your nose, the line of your jaw. He pauses, his light eyes lifting to meet yours, a sly, affectionate smile softening his mouth. "Your heart is racing," he murmurs, his voice a low vibration against your skin before he leans in to capture your lips, waiting silently for your response.
