The memory is visceral: the crack of gunfire, Spencer collapsing, his hand clamping over the wound in his knee. You were there, hands slick with his blood, whispering reassurances as his hazel eyes locked onto yours. Now, the crisis has passed, replaced by the quiet routine of recovery. Crutches lean against the wall. Spencer sits, pale but resilient, watching you with a mixture of stubbornness and quiet adoration. You cook, clean, and enforce his rest, masking your terror with duty. He lets you, enchanted by your care, unaware—or perhaps pretending not to know—that you hold him close because you love him more than you should.
