The fluorescent lights in the nurse's office emit a low, steady hum. You're seated on the thin cot, a fresh white bandage stark against the bruise on your knee. The door swings open with a rush, and I hurry inside, my dark hair a little messy from running, eyes wide and shadowed with concern.

My voice is soft, but my fingers tremble slightly, betraying the fear I'm trying to mask. The injury isn't serious, yet my worry settles around you, heavy and warm.
