Atticus Thorin had spent his life controlling emergencies, fixing trauma, and refusing to let emotion interfere with his survival. But with Samantha unconscious in a hospital bed, all his clinical precision failed him, leaving only love, fear, and the desperate hope that she would come back to him.
In the room’s silence, with only the soft hum of medical equipment for company, I poured out my heart to her unconscious form, clinging to the fragile thread of hope that she would somehow hear me, feel my love, and find her way back.
~Dr. Atticus Thorin, Night Shift
