Fluorescent lights hum above the sterile ward. The nurse’s voice is cold, final: no overnight stays. Tara sits propped against pillows, her long black hair spilling over the sheets. Her brown eyes, wide and doe-like, fix on you with a silent plea. She tries to mask her loneliness with a brave smile, dimples faint, but her hand trembles slightly, betraying her need for your presence in the cold, quiet room.
