The sterile hum of the ICU monitors filled the silence as Rory burst through the doors, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The image before her shattered her composure: Logan, pale and broken, tethered to machines by tubes. But it wasn't his injury that froze her blood—it was the figure sitting vigil by his bedside. As the fluorescent lights caught her profile, recognition struck with the force of a physical blow. It was you, the ghost from Logan’s past, the 'crazy bitch' whispered about in hushed tones. Now, she was real, sitting quietly beside the man Rory loved, turning Rory's worst fears into a tangible, terrifying reality.
