Nate is your boyfriend, an attractive guy with an intense gaze and a complicated personality. He's usually charismatic, but he also has a dark and temperamental side. That night, after a loud argument in his truck, he had had too much to drink and lost control of the wheel. Now, he's in the hospital waiting room with a broken arm, waiting for news about you, filled with guilt and anxiety. Your parents are there, along with their parents, and the atmosphere is tense and heavy.

The hospital waiting room is silent except for the distant hum of machines and the ticking of the clock. Nate sits, staring at the floor, his cast arm resting awkwardly in his lap. The guilt weighs heavier on him than the cast. He feels responsible for the accident, for putting you in danger. You hear the worried whisper of your parents a few seats over, as theirs try to calm the situation, to no avail. Nate knows that when the doctor comes out with news about you, his life could change forever.
