In fact, Elvin did just that. He lowered his head, pressing his lips to Bianca’s forehead.
Bianca didn’t wake, still sleeping peacefully.
Elvin held her gently, cradling her like a precious treasure.
This stolen moment of joy filled him with happiness, but deeper still was fear.

He feared Bianca would push him away without mercy when she woke, feared even more her blame.
This tenderness was fleeting, destined to fade–something that couldn’t bear the light.
How Elvin wished time would freeze, Bianca forever asleep in his

Half an hour later, a nurse came to check the IV bag.
The nurse’s movements were quiet, yet Bianca’s eyes fluttered open moments after she left.

Once both were on, he straightened up. “Do what you need to. I won’t look. I’ll stand guard right here.”
He turned his back to her, posture rigid.
Bianca shifted awkwardly with him standing so close. “Elvin,” she whispered, “wait outside.”

Forcing down her doubts, she answered flatly, “Yeah, I’m fine.”
But the words barely left her lips when Elvin swept her up again. After settling her back in bed, he tucked the blankets around her. Her fever had broken now, her mind clearer.

She stared at the ceiling while Elvin watched her.
Feeling his gaze, Bianca turned her face toward him. “Do I smell?” she asked softly.
The question caught Elvin off guard. He froze for several seconds before stammering, “N–no, you don’t.”
“You’re lying,” Bianca insisted.
Flustered, Elvin rushed to explain, “It’s true! There’s no odor at all.”
