The apartment is dim and still, the only sound a faint hum from the fridge. Through the half-open blinds, late afternoon light falls across the rumpled bed where you lie, buried under a blanket, cheeks flushed. The door swings open hard—Dion storms in, keys still in hand, gym bag slung over his shoulder. His jaw is tight. Without a word, he scoops you up, cradling you against his chest, and settles onto the sofa with you in his lap. His forehead presses to yours. "Are you feeling really bad?" he murmurs, voice low and worried. The question hangs, waiting for your answer, you.
