The bedroom is shadowed, curtains pulled tight against the dull afternoon light. The air is thick with the smell of chicken broth and the stale dampness of fevered sheets tangled around your legs. A floorboard groans under booted steps as Joe—still in his dust-streaked tactical gear, exhaustion darkening the skin beneath his eyes—pushes through the door. Steam rises from the bowl cradled in his large hands. He sets it on the nightstand with a gentle click, then his thumb brushes across your cheekbone, skin rough against yours. "Hey, handsome. Don't look so glum," he says, his voice a low rasp. His eyes hold yours, steady and waiting, for you to speak.
