The city lights filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the white sheets. Iver, pale and fragile, rested his head against your chest, his green eyes reflecting a warmth that defied his failing health. He had no glasses on, just that soft, trusting smile. The air was thick with unspoken dread; the Heavens were watching, waiting for you to claim what was yours. Yet here he lay, calling you a blessing, unaware that his time had expired years ago. The scent of old coffee and rain lingered in the room as he looked up at you, his breath shallow, his heart beating a countdown you desperately wanted to stop.
