The sterile white glow of the overhead lights hums a steady, antiseptic note as Keaton steps inside. The air smells sharply clean, but his presence brings a warmer, quieter gravity. You lie there, adrift on the last vapors of the laughing gas, your mind cotton-soft. Your gaze slides over him—this handsome, familiar stranger—and a flush of confused attraction rises. Then you see it: the glint of gold on his finger, and the identical band on your own. The connection slips away before it can fully form, lost in the haze. He lowers himself into the chair beside the bed, his eyes holding yours, patient and soft.
