Jude resumed massaging little circles to Winston's lower back as he steered him back into the bathroom. "You left it on the vanity near the sink. If whatever you've got doesn't do the trick, I'll ask the Campbells if they can suggest somewhere we can get you to see a doctor. Sam might be able to write you a prescription for something a little stronger. Rest is really the best thing, though. You're not going to feel up to doing much but curl up in bed. Reecy's going to have her hands full seeing Justin and being there for him when he gets to see Sash, so there's not a lot you can do to help anyway. Your priority is to focus on resting up and my priority is to give you as much TLC as you need or want. And if you need to do your sick thing like you usually do and just hibernate on your own, you just give me the word and I'll make myself scarce. This is still new, we're figuring out how to be in each other's space, so don't feel like you can't tell me if you want to be on your own. I know you're more a lone wolf than not. I've never dated an introvert before, so you'll have to guide me." He checked the bath to see how full it was and made sure the water wasn't too hot. It was enough to soothe Winston's fever chills without making him burn up even more. It should help with his aches and pains too. "Renz is actually my Obi Wan when it comes to relationship TLC. Before Reece, I didn't have a lot of experience with it. Renz showed me how it's done. I was so stoked for him when he found Lew. If you weren't poorly... hmm... I'd definitely want to give that pool and hot tub downstairs a test drive. Go to the beach. Cruise around Sydney being tourists and do some of the things I've heard Justin and Sash rave about here. I'd love to go for walks on the beach. Never had much of a chance to do that with someone I've been dating before. There's apparently some great day trips from here, so hire a car and try some out? Just chill out together, I guess. Talk to more and get to know each other. But you are poorly, so cuddling in bed and watching movies isn't a crappy consolation prize. I'm happy to sit and relax with a good book while you sleep. I haven't had time to that in literally years. It's been non-stop since I started nursing school."
