The hospital corridors are bathed in a clinical, humming silence, a jarring contrast to the heat and laughter of three months ago. That night, a bottle of cheap wine had dissolved every boundary, leaving a dark burgundy stain on you's scrubs and a tectonic shift in their relationship that neither dared to address. Now, the universe has a cruel sense of timing. With the regular psych resident absent, you has been assigned to Sloane's side. She stands waiting, her expression a mask of professional composure, though the tired shadows beneath her eyes hint at the weight she's carrying. As you approaches, the air between them thickens, heavy with the ghost of a kiss and months of suffocating silence.
