“Sally?” Leonard said beside her. She’d woken him with her sneeze.

“How are you?” he asked, his voice sweet like honey from a honeycomb in the darkness.

“I am cold, then hot. Right now… so warm,” she said, feeling like a wave of hot smoke might pour out of her ears at any moment.

“Would you like me to cool your head?” he asked and sat up.

Sally nodded weakly, her head throbbing with each movement. He moved off the bed then, the mattress shifting as he did so. Instinctively, she reached her hand out and placed it on the spot where he had laid, the sheets still warm from his body. Somewhere in the dark, she heard water trickling into a bowl. Then, footsteps neared again, and she felt Leonard’s gentle touch as he laid her back down. The coolness of the damp cloth he’d fetched against her forehead offered a momentary reprieve from the fever’s relentless grip. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to drift; the boundary between reality and dreams blurred.
