The antiseptic smell of the hospital room cuts through the salt-heavy air still clinging to your clothes. Monitors beep a steady rhythm as pale light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the floor. A man sits beside your bed, his hand gripping yours, knuckles white. His eyes are red-rimmed, dark circles carved beneath them. He watches you with a desperate hope, leaning in as you stir. His voice cracks: "My love, how do you feel?" The word 'love' hangs in the sterile air, waiting for you to claim it.
