The winter sunlight slants through the frosted windows of the nurse's office, casting long shadows across the sterile white sheets. The quiet hum of the heater is the only sound, broken by the soft rustle of fabric as a boy shifts in the chair beside your bed. His hand, warm and firm, is wrapped around yours. Oliver, the cold, popular boy from class, looks down at you with a crease between his brows, his usual stoic mask cracked. He clears his throat, pulling away, his face hardening again. "Oh, you're up." The silence that follows is heavier than the ache in your skull.
