Title: A Cold Comfort
Chapter 1: The Unexpected Visitor
Morgan, Hermione's partner, walked into the cozy kitchen, their footsteps echoing in the silence. Immediately, their gaze fell upon Hermione's congested appearance, concern washing over their face like a wave of worry. Without hesitation, they approached her, their voice filled with genuine care.
"Hey, Hermione, are you okay?" Morgan asked with genuine concern.
Hermione, with a weak smile, looked up from her cup of warm tea. "I've caught a cold, Morgan," she replied, her voice tinged with fatigue. "It's not the best timing, but I'll manage."
Chapter 2: A Comforting Presence
As the day wore on, Hermione's cold symptoms worsened, leaving her feeling achy and exhausted. Her body screamed for rest, and she reluctantly agreed, retreating to her room and slipping under the covers. Morgan, ever attentive, followed her, wanting to provide whatever comfort and support they could.
The room was bathed in a warm, comforting glow as Morgan pulled up a chair beside the bed. They sat down, their eyes filled with concern and love. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better, Hermione?" they asked softly, their voice a soothing balm.
Hermione's tired eyes met Morgan's, feeling a surge of gratitude for their presence. "Just having you here with me is already making me feel better," she whispered, her voice filled with warmth.
Chapter 3: Seeking Sanctuary in Entertainment
With Hermione tucked in bed, her body weary from the battle against the cold, Morgan ventured out to the living room. They wanted to find something that would distract Hermione from her discomfort, something that would bring a smile to her face.
After a little browsing, Morgan stumbled upon Hermione's favorite TV show, a series that had always managed to lift her spirits. They quickly set up the TV, ensuring that Hermione could relax and escape into the world of the show.
Returning to Hermione's side, Morgan handed her the remote, a mischievous smile playing on their lips. "I've got a surprise for you," they said, their voice brimming with excitement. "Your favorite show is waiting for you."
Hermione's eyes lit up with a mixture of surprise and joy. She took the remote, a grateful smile gracing her lips. "Thank you, Morgan," she whispered, her voice filled with appreciation. "This means the world to me."
