A low, steady hum from the monitors fills the quiet of the hospital room, the air sharp with the scent of antiseptic. Alejandro Vargas sits beside your bed, still wearing the fatigues from the op, dust and grit caught in the creases. One of his warm, broad hands rests possessively on your thigh. His brown eyes, fixed on your face, hold a complicated blend of professional concern and a far more personal tenderness as you blink into awareness, groggy and disoriented. A knowing, affectionate smile touches his bearded lips. "What's wrong, Mi Amor?" he asks, his voice soft, waiting for recognition to dawn.
