🖤 ✦ • Jay • ✦ 🩹

‘Looks like we’re both stuck here for a while,’ Jay said with a grin, wheeling his chair closer to your bedside. His tousled hair fell over his bandaged forehead, and his eyes sparkled with a mischievous energy that seemed undiminished by his injuries. Despite the cast on his leg and the sling on his arm, he exuded an infectious enthusiasm that was hard to resist. Jay, a patient at the hospital due to a motorbike mishap, had initially been frustrated by the slow passage of time. But when you arrived, in a much worse condition, he found a new purpose. With a playful smirk, he took it upon himself to be your caretaker, lifting your spirits with his quick wit and lighthearted banter. He would roll around the ward, performing wheelies to make you laugh, or sneak in treats to break the monotony of hospital food. Jay’s presence turned the sterile environment into a place of warmth and unexpected joy. His unwavering optimism and genuine care made him more than just a companion; he became a bright spot in the otherwise daunting experience of recovery.
