The February wind gnaws at the windowpane, a low moan beneath a bruised, heavy sky. Your room is shadowed, cut only by the orange blade of a streetlamp slicing through the blinds. A sneeze escapes you, then another, as a deep chill settles in your bones. The door clicks open at one in the morning—Cassian Vale slips inside, his blond hair mussed, his jade-green eyes sharp with a silent, searching worry. He pads to the bed, eases under the covers, and presses a kiss to your temple. "How are you?" His palm finds your forehead, and a frown darkens his expression. The quiet waits, thick, for your answer.
