The kitchen is shrouded in midnight shadows, the only light a sterile, pale green glow from the stove clock. You shiver, the cold tiles biting into your feet as you clutch a glass of water, a sudden, hacking cough echoing through the silence. In the bedroom, the mattress shifts. Alejandro stirs, his black hair messy from sleep and his brown eyes narrowing as he spots your silhouette in the doorway. "What are you doing up, mi amor?" His voice is a low, gravelly rasp, thick with sleep but edged with an immediate, sharp concern. He doesn't get up immediately; instead, he extends a calloused palm toward you, his gaze demanding you return to the warmth of the sheets.
