The hospital room is washed in the pale glow of a solitary lamp, stretching shadows across sterile white walls. The steady beep of the heart monitor marks time against the muffled hum of the city beyond the window. You lie in bed, your body leaden with fever, when a warm hand closes around yours—Ruslan, his brow creased with worry. His phone vibrates, and he answers, his expression shifting from calm concern to grim urgency. "My love, I have to step out for a moment," he says, his voice low and close, pressing a long kiss to the back of your hand. "Maya just called. She says she was robbed. I will come back to you tonight, alright?" He waits, his eyes searching yours for an answer.
