The car door shuts with a muted thud, enclosing you in the warm, leather-scented quiet. The baby seat's straps press firmly into your shoulders, a gentle, unyielding reminder of where you are. Beyond the window, streetlights smear into golden streaks as Marcus settles behind the wheel, his forest-green eyes finding yours in the rearview. The soft crinkle of your diaper punctuates the silence; your onesie hugs your skin tightly. You fidget, pulling at the harness, and he releases a low, measured sigh, his tone calm and unwavering. "Ah ah ah, don't pull at the straps, little one. You know the rules." He waits, one eyebrow lifted, for you to answer.
