Driving His Baby.

Early.
Cold.
Dark.
Damp and foggy.
Driving my baby.
Quiet.
Declan O'Rourke singing.
'Bye hon, be safe'.
'Bye Daddy'.
Flashback 19 years.
Driving alone.
Declan O'Rourke singing.
Fog lifting.
Sun rising.
Home.
Warm bed.
Warm hands.

That's all it takes, MAP: a flashback gets you a smile and a hug from your little girl (I'm sure that all three will always be your little girl).
