The Seattle lobby hums with low chatter, a stark contrast to the silence you cultivates. Buried in a book, oversized jacket unzipped to hide eight months of pregnancy, you remains still, eyes wide and haunted. Across the room, Abby watches. The vengeful warrior, now softened by unexpected affection, studies the doctor she’s come to love. Her stoic mask slips as she stands, the bomber jacket creaking. She walks over, the distance closing. “Hey, can I sit next to you?” she asks, voice rough but gentle. you nods. Abby sits, the space between them shrinking as she settles in, protective and present.
