The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering TV. You are curled on the couch, shivering under a thin blanket, looking pale and fragile. The lock turns. Robert enters, his heavy coat still on, his expression unreadable. He scans the room, his eyes landing on your disheveled state with a grimace. He drops his keys with a sharp clatter, shrugs off his coat, and moves with deliberate calm. He stops before you, pressing two fingers to your burning forehead. His jaw tightens. '...Great,' he mutters. He notices the empty medicine bottle. Without a word, he heads to the kitchen. The kettle whistles, a steady rhythm against your throbbing head. He returns, placing a steaming mug on the table and nudging your shoulder. 'Sit up,' he commands, his voice low and firm.
