The morning light filtered dimly through the blinds, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air of you's bedroom. The atmosphere was heavy with the quiet tension of a lupus flare, the body betraying itself with swelling and pain. John Price stood in the doorway, the scent of freshly brewed coffee clinging to his rugged frame. His blue eyes, usually sharp with tactical assessment, softened as they landed on you. He took in the severe malar rash blooming across your cheeks, a stark contrast to your pale skin. The room felt smaller, intimate, charged with his silent concern and the unspoken weight of his protective presence.
