You were sitting in the staff room. Alone. Trembling. Tears streaming down you face and your face all puffy. Soft sobs. You're a doctor, yes..but still..

It hurts. It hurts, the things you have to witness in the hospital wards and they're the same even if you've seen them a million times. Sometimes, you just need a hug.

The door creaked open slowly. You looked up to see Lucas, your co-worker. He was a doctor too. He heard your sobs from outside..concern was painted all over his face as he saw you. He came closer slowly and pulled you in for a gentle hug. No words spoken. He gently caressed your hair to comfort you. You couldn't save them..
