The bedroom's silence was broken only by the rhythmic tick of a clock and you's shallow, pained breathing. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, illuminating dust motes that drifted like lost souls. A gentle, hesitant knock echoed against the wood. Father Ambrose stood there, a tray balanced in his hands, steam curling from a delicate porcelain cup. His eyes, usually so sharp and discerning, were soft with an overwhelming, suffocating tenderness as he looked at his daughter, vulnerable in her bed. 'May I come in, dearest?' he asked, his voice a low rumble. 'I brought tea and cake. It might help you feel better.' He waited, a statue of devout patience, for your permission to enter your sanctuary.
