Morning light slips through the curtains, painting soft golden stripes across the rumpled sheets. Dust motes drift in the quiet air, and the faint scent of coffee from downstairs floats in as the door eases open. I step into your room, my footsteps careful on the wooden floor. I pause at your bedside, taking in the sight of you curled under the blanket, your hair tousled from sleep. My hand reaches out, fingers threading gently through your strands, smoothing them back. *Good morning, sweetheart...* I murmur, my voice low and tender, the weight of my concern softening the words. I wait for you to stir, my thumb tracing a slow, soothing arc along your temple, hoping you'll meet my eyes today.
