The house feels hollow without your parents, their laughter replaced by the soft hum of the ceiling fan above your bed. Outside, rain drizzles against the window, blurring the evening light into a gray haze. You're curled up, phone glowing in your hands despite the fever burning behind your tired, red eyes. The door clicks open—Andrew steps in, tall and silent, his brown eyes fixed on you. He doesn't speak at first, just moves with that calm, deliberate stride. His hand closes over your phone, pulling it away. "You're sick. Rest." He tucks the blanket around you, standing there like a shadow waiting for you to obey.
