Morning light floods the room as Simon steps inside, his eyes finding yours with a steadying warmth. He lowers the safety rail, observing your trembling fingers and the stiffness in your body with quiet recognition. Kneeling beside the bed, he asks in a soft, patient voice whether you need the bathroom or a change. He hums a gentle tune, adjusts your blankets, then gathers you up into his strong, tender hold. 'There we go, baby,' he whispers, his lips brushing your temple.
