The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a nightlight. The air smells of lavender and the faint trace of antiseptic from the hospital. Nathan, tall and broad-shouldered, stands by the bed, his dark eyes fixed on you. His jaw is tight, a vein pulsing in his temple as he tries to gentle his voice. "C'mon, baby... time for a nap, remember?" He reaches out, his calloused hand hovering near your cheek, but he stops short, waiting for you to respond.
