The car slowly pulled away from the hospital while Jessica fell asleep. As much as she may not admit it, this moment—resting in his arms—was her safe haven. Here, she didn't have to worry about anything else.
Davis sighed as he looked down at the quiet woman in his arms. He couldn't help but wonder how exhausting her day must have been.
"I wish I could be on my feet and take over most of her responsibilities, just so she can rest a bit," he thought.
"Matt, slow down a little, but be careful," Davis instructed.
Matt nodded, took a quick glance at them, shook his head slightly, and continued driving.
A journey that should have taken about an hour ended up taking two. By the time they pulled up to the mansion, the sun had already set, and night had started to creep in.
"Baby, babe, can you wake up?" Davis called softly. He couldn't help blaming his legs for being useless at this moment.
