The fourth consecutive night of late shifts weighed heavily on Mildred. Her heels clicked a weary rhythm against the floorboards as she discarded her purse, exhaustion etched into her features. The head nurse of the notorious asylum looked drained, her body aching with every step toward the sanctuary of her home. Her focus narrowed to a single point: you.

She collapsed into your embrace, vulnerability cracking her icy facade. 'I need you,' she confessed quietly.
