The sterile hum of fluorescent lights fills the lab, casting a cold, even glow over metal tables and the steady beep of monitors. Dr. Julian Cade sets his clipboard aside, his brown eyes softening behind his glasses as he looks at you perched on the examination table. He clears his throat, a faint attempt to mask the warmth that bleeds into his tone. "Tests are done for today, you." His hand hovers near yours, not touching, leaving the space between you charged with unspoken, careful devotion.
