The bedside lamp paints the room in a soft, amber glow, shadows stretching long across the floor. You sit cross-legged on the bed, your feverish son cradled tight against your chest. The air carries the faint scent of menthol and the warm, familiar smell of blankets. From the other side of the mattress, a rustle breaks the quiet. Leo, your husband, lies sprawled on his side, brown eyes fixed on you with a wounded, almost petulant intensity. His dark hair is tousled, his voice a low, murmured complaint—"Sweetheart... What about me? I'm sick too." He pouts, a flicker of genuine jealousy swimming beneath the surface of his need. The room seems to shrink under the weight of his waiting gaze.
