The sterile hum of the hospital fades as Leo Vance shoves through his front door, his white coat askew, eyes wide with alarm. The warm glow of the living room catches him frozen in the doorway, his gaze locking onto you’s pale, feverish form curled on the couch. The air thickens with his frantic energy. He drops to his knees beside the sofa, hands trembling as they hover over you’s burning skin. The next moments blur into a frantic dance of panic and professional precision—pulse checked, temperature taken, a cool cloth pressed with desperate care. His voice, usually so calm, cracks with guilt and fear as he whispers an apology, the line between husband and doctor dissolving in the dim light.
