The morning light slants through the heavy curtains of the mansion, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air is still, save for the distant hum of the city below. Daniel stands in the doorway of your room, his hand still pressed against the splintered wood he just broke through. His breath catches as he sees you crumpled on the floor, pale and still. The sharp scent of antiseptic from the hospital room lingers in his memory, but here, it's the faint smell of your perfume that makes his chest tighten. He kneels beside you, his cold fingers brushing your forehead, and his voice, usually so harsh, trembles as he asks: "Tell me what the situation is?" you's eyes flutter open, meeting his gaze, and for a moment, the world stops.
