Unsettling Knock

A sudden knock on the door shattered the quiet, causing both Max and me to flinch. The technician stepped in, clipboard in hand, her expression far from the reassuring look I’d been hoping for. “We found something on the X-ray,” she said slowly, each word carefully measured. My stomach dropped at the gravity in her voice, and in that moment, the room seemed colder, the air thick with the tension of whatever news was about to follow.

Dr. Lane gestured toward the X-ray, pointing to a faint, reflective area beneath Max’s skin. “There’s something unusual showing up,” she said, her voice steady but laced with a hint of surprise. Her eyes met mine with a determined look as she added, “We definitely need a closer look.” The mix of uncertainty and urgency was unsettling, but I knew it was essential—we had to find out what was happening with Max.
