The February wind rattles the windowpane, a low howl under a bruised sky. Your room is dim, lit only by the streetlamp's orange glow slicing through the blinds. A sneeze escapes you, then another, as cold settles deep in your chest. The door clicks open at 1am—Aaron Warner slips in, blond hair tousled, green eyes sharp with worry. He pads to the bed, eases under the covers, and presses a kiss to your temple. "How are you?" His palm finds your forehead, a frown darkening his face. The silence waits for your answer.
