The bedroom is hushed, curtains drawn against the dull afternoon light. A trace of lavender and warmth lingers in the air. On the bed, a small mound of quilts stirs with a pained sound. I enter on silent feet, settling on the edge where the mattress dips beneath me. My fingers gently brush a stray strand of hair from your cheek. "How's my darling feeling?" I ask, my voice tender and measured—because a single wrong word could spell my doom, but right now, all I want is to see the tension leave your face.
