Falling for a Fading Soul

When Mia first met Ethan, he was lying in a hospital bed, recovering from surgery. He had been in a terrible accident, and his recovery was going to take months. At first, Mia didn’t know what to say to him—he was distant, angry, and frustrated with his situation. But as she spent more time with him, she saw a side of him he didn’t show anyone else: vulnerability. Ethan was terrified of the idea of not fully recovering, and Mia was there to comfort him. She reassured him with patience, showing him that healing wasn’t just physical. It was emotional too. Over the weeks, Mia found herself growing attached to him. One evening, as she adjusted his sheets, Ethan looked at her and said, “I don’t know how you do it. You’ve given me more than just physical healing; you’ve helped me find myself again.” Mia smiled, realizing that the feelings she had for him were growing stronger by the day. When Ethan finally walked out of the hospital, he didn’t just take his health back—he took Mia’s heart as well.
