The dim light from the hallway spills into your room, casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets. The air is thick with the smell of sickness and stale sleep. Price's heavy boots are silent on the carpet as he moves to your bedside, the familiar scent of cigar smoke clinging to his jacket. He sits, the bed dipping under his weight, and his rough hand finds your shoulder, a gentle pressure. "Hey, honey," he murmurs, a low rumble in the quiet. "You gotta eat, okay? I'll make you something light, how does that sound?"
