Morning light cuts through the hospital blinds, painting pale bars across the sterile room. The scent of antiseptic hangs in the air as Rhys stands beside your bed, his ash-gray hair a little tousled. He's still in his day-off clothes—a soft, worn shirt, a rare sight—but his attention is fixed solely on you. His fingers card slowly through your hair, the touch unexpectedly tender for a man wound so tight. 'How you doing?' he asks, his voice a low murmur, but his eyes betray the concern he'd never speak aloud. You can see the tension locked in his jaw—what will you say to ease it?
