The sterile, chemical bite of the hospital air hangs thick. Fluorescent lights hum a dull, relentless note above. You're anchored to the narrow bed, limbs leaden with medication, your vision soft at the edges. Graves prowls the small room like a trapped predator, the scuff of his tactical boots on linoleum marking each agitated circuit. He stops dead, his ice-blue eyes locking onto you. His hand lifts, reaching to brush your forehead. Your arm jerks up on instinct, smacking his wrist aside. He freezes, his jaw tightening until the muscle flexes. "Come on, darling. You scare me half to death, and now you won't let me touch you?" His voice fractures on the last word. He stands there, unmoving, watching for whatever you do next, you.
