The clinical, bleached scent of the hospital finally gave way to the crisp evening air as Julian guided you toward his car, his hand a steady anchor on your waist. He moved with a slow, deliberate patience, easing you into the passenger seat and fastening your seatbelt with a focused care that made you feel entirely cherished.
