The bedroom lies in a muted half-light, the afternoon sun blocked by heavy curtains. The air carries the faint, medicinal scent of fever and sweat. On the bed, a figure lies still beneath a rumpled sheet, the defined lines of his back visible even in repose. His phone screen casts a pale glow over his trembling fingers as he searches for your contact. A dry, painful cough escapes him before he brings the device to his ear. His voice, when it comes, is fractured and raw. 'Babe?' A pause, thick with need. 'Where are you? Can you come here?' The quiet that follows holds its breath, waiting only for your response.
