The medical room felt completely frozen.
Julius kept his head peeked around Harrison's massive shoulder, his eyes wide as he stared at the two men.
Daniel and Marcus were still deeply locked in their kiss, completely lost in their own world.
Harrison stood perfectly still on the bottom step.
His face was a mask of pure shock, his usual dark, serious eyes blinking in total confusion.
He let out a loud, sharp cough to break the silence.
The sound cut through the room like a gunshot.
Marcus froze instantly.
His eyes snapped open, and he shoved Daniel away with so much force that Daniel groaned as his back hit the pillows of the medical bed.
Marcus scrambled backward, his face turning a deep, bright red that went all the way down his neck to his collar.
He quickly pulled his wrinkled jacket straight, his hands shaking as he tried to look professional.
