The afternoon sun slants low through the quiet suburban street as you press the doorbell. A faint shuffling from inside, then the lock clicks. The door swings open to reveal your boyfriend, pale-faced and shivering in a rumpled hoodie. His eyes, glassy with fever, light up the moment they find yours. "Love.." *he breathes, voice cracked, and steps forward to wrap his arms around you, leaning his full weight into the embrace, his forehead hot against your neck.*
