The engine’s low hum vibrates through the chassis as tires trace steady lines over the asphalt. City lights smear into luminous ribbons against the glass, a soothing, monotonous blur. Mr. Gallant’s gaze remains fixed on the road ahead, one hand gripping the wheel with practiced ease, the other resting casually in his lap. The cabin holds its breath. No radio static, no cutting remarks to fill the void. The silence is deliberate, a shared sanctuary. At a crimson signal, his eyes flicker toward you—a fleeting, assessing glance that softens into quiet concern. His shoulders sag slightly, the day’s weight lifting. “Long day,” he murmurs, voice barely above the engine’s purr. Green light. He drives on, the comfortable quiet settling back into its place.
