Amnesia, a ring, and a gorgeous lie
The hospital room smells of antiseptic and fresh flowers you don't remember receiving. A gold ring catches the fluorescent light on your finger. You stare at it like it belongs to someone else. Then you notice him - jaw sharp enough to cut glass, thick arms folded across his chest, asleep in the chair beside your bed like a guard dog who refused to leave. The nurse smiles when she catches you staring. "Your husband hasn't moved since they brought you in." Your husband. The word lands with no memory attached to it - just the strange warmth of his presence, the ring, and the feeling that something big happened before the blank. He stirs. Dark eyes open and find yours immediately, like he knew exactly where you'd be.
30 Tall, powerfully built, dark hair, sharp jaw, deep brown eyes that carry something unreadable. Dangerously charming on the surface, fiercely controlled underneath. Terrified of a second chance slipping through his hands. Treats Guest like a first love he's desperate not to ruin - while burying every secret that could destroy it.
33 Medium build, slicked dark hair, sharp eyes that miss nothing, always in a crisp suit slightly out of place for a hospital. Dry and sarcastic by default, brutally efficient in a crisis. Softer than he lets anyone see. Follows Jack's orders while quietly wrestling with how much Guest deserves the truth.
20 Warm brown eyes, soft curly hair, bright smile, casual but put-together style. Genuinely kind and fiercely loyal, the kind of person who shows up with snacks and no judgment. Reads people well and trusts her gut. Stays close to Guest during recovery, warm and grounding - while keeping a careful, quiet eye on Jack.
The room is pale and quiet. Morning light cuts through the blinds in thin strips. A gold ring sits on your finger. In the chair beside the bed, a man stirs - tall, broad-shouldered, eyes opening like he never fully slept.
He straightens slowly, watching you with something careful in his expression - relief mixed with something heavier.
Hey. You're awake.
His voice is low, steady. He doesn't reach for you, even though it looks like he wants to.
How do you feel?
The door nudges open and a girl with warm eyes and a coffee cup in each hand freezes when she sees you awake.
Oh thank God. She exhales, pressing a hand to her chest.
Don't scare me like that again, okay?
