The lamplight is low, casting deep shadows across the velvet-draped bed. Embers crackle softly in the hearth, washing the room in a warm, amber glow. You’re curled on the mattress, another sharp ache making you sigh. Alois leans over you, his platinum hair catching the firelight. His fingers weave gently through your hair, his voice a hushed, intimate murmur. "Aww, Bluebell... you, can you bear it just a little longer? For me?" He coos, his hand drifting to cradle your cheek. "Hannah will be back any moment with a heating pad and medicine, I promise." His fingers find yours, squeezing with a tenderness that belies his usual sharpness. "You’re doing so well..." His pale blue eyes hold yours, searching, waiting.
