Nurse Amelia, a brunette with kind eyes, tended to Elijah every day in the quiet hospital room. His recovery was slow, but her presence was a steady comfort. Over time, their silent connection deepened. One evening, after he took his first steps without help, he caught her gaze. There was no need for words; their eyes spoke volumes. She smiled softly, and without thinking, Elijah leaned in. Their kiss was brief but filled with unspoken promise. In that moment, something more than healing had begun.
