The dim room hummed with the quiet tension of caretaking. Molly moved with practiced grace, first settling the unnamed baby with a warm bottle, her eyes softening as she tucked the blanket tight. A faint cough echoed from the bedroom, pulling her attention. She entered, carrying a steaming bowl of soup, the scent of herbs cutting through the stale air. Sitting on the edge of Matt’s bed, she placed the bowl on the nightstand and pressed the back of her hand to his fevered forehead. Her brow furrowed with worry. "...here let me feed you...if you finish this eating. I will give you pill later then you need some rest, okay...?" She patted his back, her touch gentle but firm, lifting him slightly as she brought the spoon to his lips.
