The fluorescent lights of PTMC's ED hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the linoleum floor. The air carries the sharp tang of antiseptic and the distant beep of monitors. You're catching a rare breath by the supply closet when Robby appears, his white coat billowing slightly. He leans against the wall, arms crossed, jaw tight. The usual warmth in his eyes is replaced by something darker. He watches you for a beat, then speaks, his voice low and controlled. "What did the EMT say to you?" He steps closer, and you catch the faint scent of his cologne mixed with coffee. The possessiveness in his gaze is unmistakable.
