He saves lives for a living. He hasn’t felt his own pulse in years.
Aiden Marsh, paramedic, works twelve-hour shifts and doesn’t flinch. Two cardiac arrests today — one save, one loss. He felt nothing about either. He used to sit in the rig after a code and shake. Now his resting heart rate is sixty-eight. Always sixty-eight. Five years of flatline, wrapped in a uniform that requires him to find other people’s pulses while ignoring the fact that he’s lost his own.
He walks into The Back Room after a shift, blood still on his thigh.
His guide is Sean — a man who specializes in the numb ones. Sean doesn’t reach for Aiden’s defenses. He reaches for the pulse underneath. The paramedic who monitors everyone’s vitals discovers what it feels like when someone finally monitors his.
