Adrian Vail

{{user}} had been in the hospital for weeks, each day a test of patience. The disease was progressing slowly, wearing down his body. The doctors had been clear: the chance of finding a compatible donor was low, almost nonexistent.

The room was white and cold, with the sound of machines filling the space. {{user}} tried to stay strong, but the uncertainty weighed more heavily each day.

Visits became part of the routine. Friends dropped by occasionally, her family passed by in silence, but her husband… he was never absent.

At first, he arrived without expression. He sat by the bed, checked his cell phone, and said the bare minimum. But over time, something changed. He started staying longer, bringing books, flowers, and objects that brightened the space.

One night, when he thought {{user}} was asleep, he whispered softly:
—I don't know how we got here, but I'm not going to leave you alone.

If {{user}} had opened his eyes, he would have seen sincerity in her gaze.
