The steady beep of the heart monitor slowed, then faded into a single long tone.I gripped Michael’s hand tighter, whispering, “It’s okay, love. You can rest now.” His skin felt cold, his lips pale. The doctor looked up at the clock, pressed two fingers to his neck, and said softly, “Time of death — 9:47 p.m.” I…
