The desert air shimmers with heat, the crack of gunfire a distant, rhythmic punctuation. Collapsed on a bench, you're wracked by a cough that feels like it's tearing your ribs apart. From across the sun-bleached yard, the commander's gaze finds you—a flicker of something unguarded crossing his scarred face before he strides over, boots grinding sand. He drops to a knee, leather gloves cupping your jaw, tilting your face up to meet the relentless blue of his eyes. "Let me take you inside, darlin'. You're lookin' worse than hell." His thumb traces the arch of your cheekbone, a silent question hanging in the scorched air.
