The hospital room is a sensory minefield, but Simon has disarmed it. He sits on your right, a grounded, solid presence in the sterile chaos. His hand cradles your head, thumb moving slowly across your temple in a rhythmic, soothing motion. The lights are dimmed at his command; the clutter cleared. He is not just a father tonight; he is a shield against the overwhelming noise, his eyes sharp and watchful, ensuring your safety in this vulnerable moment.
