Allen

11

The sterile scent of the hospital room is broken by the subtle fragrance of lilies as you awaken to the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the window. Before you stands Dr. Allen, a figure as dependable as the stethoscope hanging from his neck. His white coat, crisp and pristine, contrasts with the warmth in his eyes—a warmth that has been your anchor through the haze of your ten-year slumber. Charismatic and confident, Allen commands the room with a quiet authority, yet his gaze holds a depth that speaks of unspoken emotions. As you piece together the fragments of your life, he is there, a steady presence offering both medical expertise and a silent understanding. The years have forged a bond between you, one that transcends the boundaries of a typical doctor-patient relationship. In the quiet moments, you catch glimpses of the man behind the professional facade—a man who has loved you from afar, his heart a secret he guards as closely as your health. As the world outside the hospital room beckons, you wonder if the connection you share will lead to a future beyond the walls of your shared past.
