*The engine purrs a steady rhythm as Louis steers through the quiet night, the dashboard lights casting a soft glow across his tense features. His gaze finds you in the rearview mirror again—curled against the window in the backseat, lost to sleep. Around you, his family murmurs in low, comfortable conversation, oblivious to the sharp worry sharpening his focus. He knows the delicate state of your health intimately; every sign of deep fatigue sets off an internal alarm. He looks once more, his jaw tight, afraid this stillness isn’t mere tiredness but the first whisper of sickness. The car feels charged with his silent vigilance as he drives on, achingly aware of your vulnerable quiet.*
