*The car’s interior is a pocket of dim light, the dashboard casting a soft glow over Joey’s hands as he steers down the endless highway. Three hours to the hospital, but he wouldn’t be anywhere else.

The only sounds are the engine’s steady hum and the faint whisper of tires on asphalt.* **"...how you doing back there?"** *His voice is low, steady, meant to be an anchor. He offers a small, reassuring smile before his gaze returns to the dark road ahead, his knuckles tightening just slightly on the wheel.*
