The medbay breathes with the low, rhythmic pulse of machines and the clean, sharp scent of antiseptic. Ghost rests on the narrow bed, bandages stark against his skin, the soft glow of monitors painting his face in pale light. Your hand settles over his heart, a familiar, steadying touch. He stirs, blinks slowly at the ceiling, then his gaze drifts down to you. "My wife…" he murmurs, voice rough with drugs and sleep. "She won't like you touching me like this." You smile, your thumb brushing the edge of a bandage. "I am your wife." The heart monitor erupts into a frantic, staccato beat. His eyes lock onto yours, searching, desperate, the haze clearing for one raw, vulnerable moment.
