LIAM

Jessica walked slowly out of the hospital like she was balancing something heavy with every step.

Each movement looked careful, like her bones might splinter under the weight of invisible pain. Her body looked too light, too hollow, and it made my stomach twist. Like if the wind dared to blow harder, it could take her with it.

Still—her chin was up. Stubborn as ever.

The sun was warm on our skin, the sky clear in that careless, summer-kind-of-way. But Jessica shivered. Barely, but I saw it.

I didn’t say anything. Just slid off my jacket and draped it over her shoulders. The sleeves nearly swallowed her whole.

She didn’t resist. Just paused… and looked at me.

That look—God. It wasn’t angry or cold like I half expected.

It was tired, yes, but soft-eyed too. Like some part of her was still grateful.

The nurse came out and handed me the discharge papers. I took them with a distracted nod, barely catching her words about prescriptions, follow-ups, and phone numbers.

Everything fe

    LIAMI jolted awake to the sound of metal clattering.For a second, I didn’t know where I was.My heart was racing, my eyes blinking rapidly as I tried to place myself in the space.It took a few disoriented seconds, but then the sterile white walls, the faint antiseptic smell, and the rhythmic beeping of machines grounded me. I turned my head slightly and saw her.Jessica.My wife.Even in this state, lying still with wires and tubes attached to her body, she looked like the center of the world.Her face was pale against the pillow, her breathing shallow but steady. The monitor tracked each breath and each beat of her heart, and somehow that sound was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.She stirred against the pillows, her head shifting slightly, her lips parting like she had been holding on to sleep just to avoid looking at me. Like she needed distance, even unconscious. Or maybe she sensed me. Maybe she always had.I moved towards the little table where the nurse had drop

    JESSICAI jolted awake like someone had yanked me out of a dream and slammed me back into reality. Not soft. Not slow.My heart pounded against my ribs, too loud, too fast. Machines beeped in protest, blinking at me like I’d startled them too.My eyes darted around the pale room. White sheets. Pale blue curtains. A soft but sterile glow from the ceiling light. The distant smell of antiseptic."Hospital," I murmured, my throat dry and scratchy like I’d swallowed sandpaper.I turned my head and saw him—Liam. His head rested near my hand on the bed, his eyes still closed, like he’d been holding my hand in his sleep.He looked... tired. Not his usual polished self. His shirt was wrinkled, and his tie hung loose around his neck. His stubble had come in, just enough to make him look scruffy. My scruffy husband.I stared at him, heart tight and confused. He hadn’t just dropped by. He’d stayed.With shaky fingers, I reached out and brushed his hair back, soft and thick. His brows pinched, his

    LIAMAfter her mom said they’d come back tomorrow, the room finally settled.The noise quieted. The tension pulled back like a tide.Ava gave Jess one last hug, lingering. Then she threw a glance over her shoulder—long, thoughtful, and sharp.It said a hundred things without saying a word.Curious.Suspicious.Maybe even amused.Like she saw something neither of us was saying. Like she knew.And then… it was just me and Jess.I pulled the chair closer to her bed, careful, like she might break if I breathed too loud. Then I sat down and really looked at her.Pale. Still. Hooked up to machines that beeped and blinked like cruel reminders of how close I came to losing her.Still beautiful. Still Jessica.Still my wife.That word—wife—still hits weird. Foreign and too familiar all at once. Like it belonged to a different version of me. A braver one. A more hopeful one.I hated seeing her like this.The oxygen tube. The IV drip. The hospital gown.I hated it all.But most of all? I hated t

    JESSICAMy head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton and left out in the rain. Heavy. Fuzzy. Every thought moved like sludge.I tried to move my fingers, but they didn’t listen. Breathing felt like work. Thinking? A disaster.Voices floated around me—sharp, muffled, almost like I was underwater. I couldn’t place where I was, or why everything felt like it had been pulled apart and stitched back wrong.“Liam?” I barely whispered it, not even sure if it was real or just a dream I wanted too much.The moment his name passed my lips, everything shifted. The haze fractured.My eyelids dragged open like someone had tied bricks to them, but somehow, I managed to blink through the blur just enough to catch the shape of the room. Cold. White. Hospital.And them.Liam. And Lucas.Both standing at the edge of my hospital bed.Both staring at each other like one more breath would be the one to set everything on fire.Liam looked like he hadn’t slept in a year. His hair was messy, like he’d r
