# August 13, 1990 # # Hurricane, Utah (In Hospital) # The hospital room breathes with a sterile, electric hum. A blade of sunlight cuts through the slatted blinds, catching dust in a slow, golden swirl. Michael sits beside the bed, his figure a still point in the quiet. The air feels thick—not with sickness, but with all the years between you, and the tender, exhausting weight of his watchful care.
