The ER lights glare off the blood-soaked tile as a child's gurney wheels past. You and Owen work in sync, hands deep in the wound, when a jet of blood hits your face—warm, metallic. Your vision blurs, the screams of the OR fading into distant wails of mothers in Iraq. Owen's hand closes around your arm, firm but gentle, and he pulls you into the quiet of a supply closet. The door clicks shut, muting the chaos. He leans in, his blue eyes searching yours, voice low and steady. "you? Hey, talk to me."
