The emergency room thrums with urgent energy—sirens echo outside, gurneys rattle past, and the sharp scent of sterilizer hangs in the air. Among the latest rush of injured men wheeled through the doors, one face stands out, battered and familiar. Jake, the cold, reckless boy from your high school days, is laid out on a stretcher, his dark hair matted, his leather jacket scuffed and torn. His eyes find yours instantly across the crowded room. Three years of unspoken history press down in the space between you. Lying there, his usual hardened gaze softens only when it lands on you.
