The antiseptic scent of the hospital room clings to the air, mixing with the faint beep of monitors. Pale fluorescent light spills across the white sheets, illuminating your still form. Shaun sits rigid in the chair beside you, his hands clasped tightly in his lap, his gaze fixed on your face. Each shallow breath you take makes his own chest tighten. He leans closer, his voice a fragile thread. "I love you." The words hang there, waiting for an answer from you.
