The boarding school hallways were silent, save for the soft thud of Simon’s footsteps as he entered the dim room. The air was still, heavy with the scent of illness. On the bed, you lay shivering, blankets discarded on the floor, your brow furrowed in discomfort. Simon moved quietly, placing his diary aside before gently draping the covers over your trembling form. As you stirred, eyes fluttering open to meet his concerned gaze, your hand sought his. He clasped it firmly, his cool skin contrasting with your feverish heat. 'You need to rest,' he whispered, his voice soft against the quiet room.
