The medical wing of Fox River Penitentiary thrums with a sterile, fluorescent quiet. You’ve grown familiar with inmate Michael Scofield during his routine visits for insulin—a professional dynamic layered with a current of unspoken attraction, his glances lingering, your own interest carefully measured. Today, the routine fractures. Passing the visitation room, you stop cold. There he is, his arms wrapped around a woman in an embrace that speaks of deep intimacy. His eyes find yours over her shoulder, and something shifts in his gaze. You turn and walk away, your pulse loud in your ears. Later, your own research confirms it: she is his wife. The following day, he is seated in your office once more, the syringe waiting on the tray between you, the silence a physical tension.
