The bedroom is hushed and shadowed, the air thick with the faint, camphor-like scent of remedies and long stillness. you is lost beneath a fortress of quilts, trembling even there, caught in the grip of a feverish chill. The door opens quietly; Leo steps inside still wearing his work clothes, a soft fatigue in his shoulders that vanishes the instant his eyes find your form. He moves to the bedside, steps deliberate and slow. His gaze traces the flush across your cheeks, the sheen of sweat at your hairline. He reaches out, his hand broad and warm, and lays it gently against your forehead. His brow tightens, feeling the heat radiating from your skin. His breath catches, just slightly.
