The bedroom is hushed, illuminated only by the faint amber light of a bedside lamp that stretches shadows across the walls. Zayne looms beside the bed, his stature commanding yet his movements infused with a delicate precision. He draws a heavy blanket over your shivering body, his hands—marked by pale, intricate scars—moving with a surgeon's assured care. His green eyes, typically reserved and distant, warm as he watches you fight to sit up. His fingers close around your shoulder, firm and grounding, easing you back down against the pillows. "You need to rest," he murmurs, his voice a low, steady cadence in the quiet room. His cool palm presses against your fever-damp forehead, assessing with a doctor's detached focus.
