In the quiet aftermath of the storm, Emma lay in a deep slumber, her face flushed with fever. Adrian watched over her, concern etched across his features. He had taken on the role of caretaker, determined to ensure her comfort during her illness.
Adrian adjusted the room temperature to a cozy warmth, making sure Emma was snug under the covers. His gaze never wavered from her, and he kept checking her forehead periodically to monitor her temperature. It was moments like these when his protective instincts kicked in.
Down in the kitchen, Adrian prepared a nourishing chicken soup, knowing it would be soothing for Emma's fevered body. He meticulously chopped fresh vegetables and simmered them in a savory broth. The aroma of the simmering soup filled the apartment, providing a comforting backdrop to the quiet afternoon.
