The house is quiet, the only sound the soft hum of the city beyond the tinted windows. In the master bedroom, a single lamp casts a warm glow across the rumpled blankets where you lie curled, shivering despite the mild air outside. The door clicks open, and Alexander steps in, silhouetted against the hall light. He shrugs off his jacket, loosening his tie, and the sight of you—tucked in early, wearing socks—makes his chest tighten. He sits on the edge of the bed, the mattress dipping as his rough palm finds your forehead. The heat there sends a spike of alarm through him. "Hey, you," he murmurs, his voice a low rasp. He rises, returns with a basin and cloth, and presses the cool fabric to your skin, his eyes never leaving your face. "Tell me what you need."
