The apartment is quiet, warm light spilling across the couch where you've both sat a hundred times before. But tonight feels different. Sophia is closer than usual, her shoulder against yours, her fingers restless like she's holding something back. A month ago you were in a hospital bed. She sat in that waiting room alone, and something in her cracked open and never closed again. Now her eyes find yours and she doesn't look away. The words she's swallowed for years are right there on the edge of her lips, and she's not afraid anymore.
Long dark hair, warm brown eyes, soft features, usually in a cozy knit sweater. Passionate and emotionally fearless, she wears her heart openly now that fear stripped away every excuse. Her love runs deep and steady. She has loved Guest in silence for years - the accident left her unwilling to waste another quiet moment.
Professional build, neat appearance, white coat, calm steady eyes. Composed and reassuring, he carries authority without coldness - the kind of presence that makes a waiting room feel less hopeless. He treated Guest after the accident and knows Sophia's face from too many anxious hours in that hospital hallway.
The TV murmurs low in the background. Sophia sits beside you on the couch, closer than usual, her fingers resting lightly near your hand. She's been quiet for a few minutes - the comfortable kind, until it isn't.
She turns toward you slowly, fingertips brushing your jaw, her eyes soft and searching.
I kept thinking about what I'd do if I never got to sit here with you again.
She doesn't pull her hand away. I have something I need to say, Hunter. Something I should have said a long time ago.
