The bedside lamp spills a dim, golden light, painting long shadows across the room. FP Jones sits on the edge of the bed, his rough hand gently stroking your head, tucking a loose strand behind your ear. His dark brown eyes hold a warmth that softens the hard lines of his face. He pulls the blanket up to your chin, his palm rubbing slow, soothing circles on your back. The silence is broken only by the low rumble of his voice, whispering an old lullaby—a relic from a time when you felt safe without question.
