The Truth Will Set You Free

Two broken souls, bound by fate and tragedy, navigate a world of hidden truths and personal demons. He's the guarded cynic, she's the compassionate klutz. Their connection is undeniable, but can their love survive the secrets they keep and the shadows of their pasts?
The sterile smell of the hospital room clings to the air, a constant reminder of the past two days spent here. You haven’t moved from this uncomfortable chair, the hospital's mundane details – the ceiling cracks, the paint chips, the groaning chair – etched into your memory.
Your mother enters, her sigh a familiar sound of exasperation. She urges you to go home, to rest, but you refuse. Sleep feels like a betrayal, food like a forgotten concept. Your gaze is fixed on Hadley, lying in the bed, bruised and broken. Seeing her like this is a physical ache in your chest. The doctor’s words echo – broken ribs, internal bleeding, cerebral hemorrhaging… bleak. This, you know, is your fault.
