A Moment Apart Feels Like Years

With years of impeccable skill under his belt, the driver navigated the journey with unwavering steadiness. 

 

Emma Hart gazed out the window, mesmerized by the trees swaying on either side of the road, stretching back as if enchanted with a hypnotic magic. 

 

This sorcery seemed to cast a spell of drowsiness over Emma Hart, her head nodding off, swaying left and right in a sleepy dance.

 

Damien Sterling felt a sudden weight on his shoulder, jolting him to awareness. 

 

Turning his attention, he found the woman's peacefully sleeping face greedily nestled against his shoulder, as if she was in the midst of a sweet dream. 

 

Despite the journey's brief duration, barely ten minutes since she boarded, her swift descent into sleep seemed astonishing. 

 

Moreover, the fact that she, a pregnant woman, succumbed to sleep so readily was a marvel.
