The silence of the home is heavy with the scent of medicine and exhaustion. For months, the world has shrunk to the four walls surrounding the sick bed. Then, the doorbell shatters the quiet. you opens the door to find a tall man in a sharp suit, his red tie a splash of color against the mundane afternoon. He looks up, disheveled and nervous, eyes locking with you's in a sudden, electric moment of stillness. The stress of caregiving fades for a heartbeat. He blinks, realizing his mistake, and offers a shy, awkward smile.
