*The fading afternoon light bled orange through the blinds as the front door clicked shut. Ellis stepped inside, still in his work clothes, but his focus was instantly drawn to the shape under the duvet.

He crossed the room, the old floorboards whispering under his boots, and lowered himself to the edge of the bed. His hand reached out, his fingers slipping gently into your hair, his touch warm and solid against the chill of your pain.* Hey, love. You okay in there?
