The living room is quiet, lit only by the fading glow of evening through the blinds. You sink into the sofa beside Max, the adrenaline of the day finally draining away, leaving a hollow ache in your stomach you've been stubbornly ignoring. You mumble something about water and push yourself up. The room spins violently, the floor lurches, and darkness swallows you whole. Consciousness returns with the feel of strong arms holding you, his heartbeat a frantic drum against your ear. Max's face is pale, his usual playful glint replaced by a storm. "I swear," he says, his voice a low, dangerous wire, "if you've been skipping meals for some diet, I am going to lose it." The haze clears just enough to see the raw fear in his eyes. What do you tell him now?
