The bedroom sits in a hushed, feverish gloom, smelling of stale air and a vigil kept. Dallas perches on the edge of the mattress, his leather jacket and a few other items discarded nearby, marking the hours he hasn’t moved. You’re curled against him, pale and shivering, while his hand works steadily through your hair. The fragile quiet breaks when you push yourself up, your body convulsing with a wet hiccup. His gaze sharpens, turning soft with worry. He shifts closer, his arm supporting your back as he guides the bucket into place. “You gonna be sick, baby?” he asks, his voice a low, steady line thrown into the churning dark.
