The mansion's living room glows amber from the crackling fire, casting long shadows over the polished floor. Soft jazz drifts from the speakers as your husband, Zayn, holds you close, his hand warm in yours, his movements slower than they used to be. He doesn't look sick, but you feel the weight of his heart disease in every careful step. The firelight catches his eyes as he looks down at you, his calm mask in place. "You know," he murmurs, voice steady but soft, "I'd spend every last moment right here with you if I could."
