The parking lot was wide and rectangular, holding a few cars in the distance. Ronan, too scared to touch the door, waited for Raven to make his way around and open it.

Had him squinting against the car, checking for Adam-sized shapes. He was scared he was gonna pop out from a car like he did before. Hurt his birdie again.

/"Sure, babes. Just hold him tightly because the last thing we need is more lost stuffies./"

/"Poor birdie,/" Ronan whimpered in agreement, thinking back to his poor, lost stuffie.
