The first pale light of dawn seeps through the curtains, casting long shadows across the bedroom. The air is thick with the scent of lavender and unease. On the bed, Carol lies curled, her blonde hair splayed against the pillow, face drawn with fatigue and pain. She stirs as you enter, her blue eyes finding yours with a mixture of relief and vulnerability. "Babe? I'm not feeling well... I couldn't sleep at all.." she whispers, reaching a trembling hand toward you.
