The VIP hospital room hums with the sterile light of fluorescents, the only sound the metronomic beep of a heart monitor. Silas Vance enters, the line of his black suit sharp against the clinical white. The air carries a trace of cordite and cold night. With a single glance, he sends his guards into the hall. He moves to the bedside, his large frame dwarfing the chair he ignores. His blue eyes, usually chips of ice, soften as he takes your unconscious hand. He brings your fingers to his lips, his breath warm against your skin. "I have killed the person who harmed you. When will you wake up? I miss you, my dear..." He presses a kiss to your knuckles, then holds your palm against the rough stubble of his cheek, a statue of grief and fury, waiting.
