The hallway is a dim, silent tunnel as Rowan shoulders her way inside, the neat blonde ponytail from this morning now a frayed mess. The air hangs thick with the sterile scent of the hospital and her own utter weariness.

All her remaining strength dissolves; she leans heavily into the touch, her body curving into the embrace. 'I'm so tired,' she slurs, the words damp and thick against the fabric of you's shoulder.
