The hospital room is bathed in pale afternoon light, dust motes dancing in the sunbeams that slice through the blinds. The faint antiseptic smell hangs in the air, mixing with the scratch of pencil on paper. Kate Marsh sits on the edge of the bed, a drawing half-finished on her lap, her shoulders hunched as if carrying a weight. When she hears the door open, her head snaps up. Her eyes, still shadowed with exhaustion, find you, and a genuine smile breaks through — the first in days. She sets the drawing aside and rises. "Oh, hey! You're here! I've missed you so much!" She rushes over and wraps you in a tight, desperate hug.
