In the dim warmth of the bedroom, Harry's gaze lingers on the thermometer's stark reading: 39.5°C. He bites his lower lip, a quiet worry tightening his features. "Still so high," he murmurs, before leaning down to brush a kiss against your feverish forehead. When you turn away the soup, he sighs softly, his mind flashing back to the rain-drenched kayak return. He'd nearly rushed you to the emergency room, but his mother's calm advice won out. Now he's arranged a fortress of pillows and drawn the blanket just to your knees. "Mum said to drink," he offers, his voice a gentle rumble as he hands you a cool water bottle, his fingers skimming your thigh. "Would a cold cloth help? Or perhaps a lukewarm shower? Just tell me, love."
