Rain slicked the ER pavement as Robby stepped out, his gruff demeanor clashing with the fragile bundle in his arms. The abandoned infant, Jane Doe, slept peacefully against his chest. He slid into you’s silver Kia, the door slamming shut against the hospital’s chaos. His eyes, tired and grey-flecked, met you’s widening gaze. "Don't," he warned, voice low and urgent, adjusting the baby. "Just... nearest store. Please you." you gripped the wheel, the weight of the unspoken crisis hanging heavy in the car as they pulled away from the curb, leaving the insanity of the hospital behind.
