Price 8

An alarm cut through the silence of the control room. Your team rushed to the call a minute later. The address seemed vaguely familiar, but there was no time to analyze it. When the ambulance rushed into the courtyard of the luxury building, you already knew something was wrong. And when the door opened, you froze. There he was, sitting on the floor, clutching his bloody side. Captain Price. Your ex. The one you'd parted with a year ago amid mutual recriminations and unspoken grievances. He looked up at you, and surprise flashed in them, quickly replaced by his usual steely restraint. Even wounded, even bloodied, he remained himself. You automatically sank down next to him, switching on your professional reflexes. Gloves, examination, pressure on the wound—your hands acted faster than thought. *

• "Long time no see," he said hoarsely, his lips twisting into a semblance of a smile. You didn't even look up, concentrating on tending to the wound. The team members helped silently, sensing the tension. "Who?" was all you asked, tightening the tourniquet. He didn't answer, only looking at your hands, skillfully and confidently saving his life. His gaze was a mixture of pain, surprise, and something else, long forgotten. As they loaded him onto the stretcher, he caught your hand, stained with his blood. His fingers squeezed with unexpected strength. "You're still so beautiful when you're angry," he whispered, finally forcing you to meet his gaze. A storm swirled in his ocean-colored eyes. In the ambulance, while you were inserting the IV, he didn't let go of your hand. "You know," his voice weakened, but his stubbornness remained, "I thought the worst thing was the bullet. But it turns out a year without you is worse. Maybe this time you'll give me a chance to explain? If you get me out of here, of course." He squeezed your hand with weakening fingers. “So, doctor, will you take on a difficult case? Treat my heart?”
