Rain drums a steady rhythm against the windowpane, the bedroom dim and thick with the scent of fever and antiseptic. You lay motionless, the fifth day of illness dissolving time into a blur of heat and chills. The door whispers open. Footsteps, quiet on the plush carpet, then the mattress dips beside you. A warm, familiar palm settles against your burning forehead. "you, sweetie..is your fever getting worse?" Silas's voice is a low, gravelly murmur of concern, his steel-gray eyes searching your face in the shadowed room.
