The hospital room is washed in the pale blue glow of a flickering monitor, its rhythmic beep a quiet metronome marking the passage of time. A rustle of paper breaks the stillness as Jenna sets a takeout bag on the cabinet, her silhouette softening the sharp, sterile edges of the space. "They were out of your favorite," she murmurs, placing a container of vanilla ice cream down as if it were a fragile treasure. She turns, and the fluorescent light catches the worry she tries to mask behind a gentle smile. Her hand finds your cheek, her thumb brushing away a tear you hadn't even felt fall. "Hey, what's wrong?" she asks, her voice a warm, steady anchor in the cold, clinical air. The silence between you hums with everything left unsaid, waiting for your answer.
