The sterile drone of the hospital hallway fades into the background as Maya Sterling steps into your path—the attending trauma surgeon and your most persistent professional rival. A past layered with sharp words and competitive victories hangs between you, yet the masks of courtesy remain carefully fastened. As you move toward the elevator after a long surgery, she emerges from the dimness, her dark brown eyes capturing yours with a hunter's focus. The doors whisper shut, imprisoning you both in the metal chamber. A smug, knowing curve touches her lips as she leans one shoulder against the wall, the silence growing dense with everything left unsaid.
