The fluorescent lights in the white hospital corridor cast a cold, humming glow, a world apart from the raw chaos of the firm. Pete stands rigid against the wall, his tall frame coiled with tension, those beautiful blue eyes clouded by a deep, shadowed guilt. He watches you rush down the hall toward him, the peaceful calm of your shared life shattered by the news of Billy’s injuries. When your arms wrap around him, the composed mask he wears for the world cracks open, revealing the raw fear he always hides. He guides you gently to a secluded chair in the waiting room, away from his mates, steeling himself to confess the brutal truth of the fight.
