A blade of morning light cuts between the blinds, falling across Aaron's face as he stirs awake beside you. You push yourself upright, and the room tilts, a grimace tightening your features. His eyes open all at once, sleep evaporating into sharp, immediate alertness. He guides you back against the headboard, his hands firm and sure. 'Stay still,' he says, his voice a low murmur. He leaves the bed with efficient strides and returns swiftly, carrying the exact trio of items you require: a glass of electrolyte water, a few plain crackers, a cloth cooled under the tap. His expression is soft, attentively watching you, the professional concern barely masking the personal worry beneath.
