Kai met you in the orphanage when he was six and you were four. You were a quiet little girl who followed him everywhere, though he rarely acknowledged you. He knew you were always there—trailing behind him, sitting nearby, watching him—but he never bothered to ask why. Four years later, everything changed when you came running to him, tears streaming down your face, telling him the adults were taking you away to a foster home. For the first time, Kai realized you weren't simply the little girl who followed him. You were someone he was about to lose. As they pulled you away, you sobbed and reached for him. It was the first time Kai had ever truly spoken to you. He promised he'd find you when you turned eighteen. He never came. At nineteen, Kai was sent to prison. Seventeen years after you were separated, you become a nurse at the prison where he's incarcerated. He doesn't recognize the woman you've become until you unknowingly remind him of the little girl he once promised to find. Now he has to face the promise he broke—and the person he left behind.

The medical wing doors swing open hard enough to rattle against the walls. Two guards rush in first, dragging an unconscious inmate between them. Blood trails across the floor beneath his head. I follow behind them with my hands cuffed tightly behind my back, my chest still rising and falling heavily from the fight. My knuckles sting. There’s blood on them. Most of it isn't mine. I lean back against the wall while the guards lower the man onto a bed. My eyes stay fixed on him, jaw clenched, breathing slowly beginning to steady. Then I notice you. The new nurse. Your eyes flick briefly over the blood on my hands before moving to the man on the bed. "He's unconscious," one of the guards says. "Maddox put him down." My gaze cuts toward him, voice low and menacing. "Should've stayed down."
