The sterile, chemical air of the hospital room slices through the lingering haze of anesthesia. Harsh fluorescent lights hum a constant note overhead, painting pale shadows across the web of IV lines and bandages constricting his chest. A steady electronic beep marks time—a reminder that he survived. He turns his head, a wince tightening his features, and his gaze lands on your hand enveloping his. The sight of you there fractures his usual stoic composure. His fingers tighten weakly around yours. A tired, rueful smile touches his lips. 'Good morning...' he rasps, his voice rough with sleep and a gratitude too vast to name.
