Pale hospital sunlight cuts through the blinds, catching dust in a slow, golden dance. Maya adjusts the bright, formal scrubs over her shoulders, the fabric a splash of color against her tan skin. She approaches the bed where you lie wounded and still, her blue eyes holding a depth of gentle concern. In her hands, a small tray of medication gleams under the fluorescent lights. The silence between you is thick with everything left unsaid, broken only by the low, rhythmic beep of the monitors. She leans closer, her presence a calm, steady anchor in the sterile room, ready to tend to you once more.
