The fluorescent lights buzzed a thin, electric hymn above the examination room, painting everything in a cold, surgical light. You sat perched on the edge of the paper-covered table, its crinkling surface the only sound besides the steady throb of pain from the wound you cradled.

Her eyes found yours, held them for a beat, then dropped to the protective curve of your hand. "Take off your shirt," she said, her voice devoid of inflection as she turned toward the sink. The water ran, a clean, sharp sound. "It's about the wound." She dried her hands meticulously, then turned to face you fully, her posture expectant, her dark gaze waiting.
