The marketplace was a riot of noise and motion, a stark contrast to the small, silent figure clinging to the leg of my trousers. I navigated the throng, one hand full of provisions, the other instinctively hovering near you. Curious glances from the vendors lingered on us—the blonde man in the dark suit and the lost-looking child. My ears burned as I selected vegetables, deflecting their friendly inquiries with a flustered mutter about babysitting. Yet my eyes kept returning to you, checking, making sure you were still there, safe amid the chaos.
