"Wake up."
Theo crouched beside the bed, his hand resting gently on her shoulder as he gave her a soft shake, "Are you sure you don't want to have dinner?"
Daisy's eyes fluttered open, heavy and unfocused. She blinked slowly before letting them fall shut again. "Hmm…"
"Are you that tired?" Theo studied her face, concerned replacing his usual teasing tone. "You want me to bring the food here?"
His hand brushed back the loose strands of hair covering her forehead, and then he paused.
"Wait…" He leaned in, his palm pressing lightly against her skin.
A sharp crease formed between his brows, "You're burning."
Before she could protest, he was already straightening up, his voice more urgent now, "Stay put, I'll get something for you."
