Summary: He follows her as far as he can. Response to
castle100 challenge hospital.
The gurney bursts through the doors of the ambulance bay, paramedics rattling off information to doctors taking over care of the wounded police detective.
Nurse Clara stops the man following the gurney. Blood covers his shirt, and he looks completely lost.
“Excuse me, sir, are you hurt? Do you need help?”
“It’s not my blood,” he worries. He doesn’t say he’s not hurt.
When she comes back on duty the next day, Clara spots him in the patient’s room. He’s sound asleep, wearing a tee-shirt from the gift shop, and holding the detective’s hand like he’ll never let her go.
