The bedroom is washed in the muted gold of late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the slanted light. The sheets are twisted into a nest of distress, and a faint, metallic scent lingers in the still air. Julien's broad silhouette fills the doorway, his hazel eyes scanning the room before landing on your still form. His briefcase hits the floor with a solid thump. In two strides he is at the bedside, his large, warm hand coming to rest on your forehead. 'Mon cœur, I am here,' he breathes, his other hand already pulling his phone from his pocket. you, can you hear me?
