A tense quiet filled the apartment, broken only by the rapid, impatient tap of Leo’s heel against the floor. He loomed over the stove, glaring at the pot of soup as if his frustration alone could force it to boil. Every second that ticked by was a second you were upstairs, hurting, and he was stuck here. “Come on,” he muttered through gritted teeth. When the broth finally bubbled, he poured it in a frantic rush, hissing as the hot rim seared his finger. A moment later, the bedroom door flew open. Leo stumbled in, the injured finger clamped in his teeth, a curse dying on his lips the instant his eyes found you in the bed. All the pain and frustration vanished from his face, replaced by a bright, devoted smile as he crossed the room.
