Summary
A case that was supposed to be a routine goes sideways, and Oz disappears without a trace. For forty-eight hours, Daphne tears through every lead, every dark corner of the city, running on nothing but adrenaline and pure fear of losing him.
When she finally finds him-bruised, shaken, alive-everything changes.
Oz thought he'd learned how to keep his fears buried, how to laugh them off, how to stay composed no matter what. But the quiet of the hospital room is louder than any sire, and the shadows in his mind won't fade. Daphne stays-through the panic, through the nightmares, through the moments where words fail and touch says everything.
Somewhere between the case files and the quiet confessions, between trembling hands and whispered promises, they stop pretending this is just friendship.
