“ baby food , baby food …… ah ; le voilà ! “ gustave picked up a couple of jars of elainas favorite baby food . after just moving here , the french knew he needed groceries bad . just moving here …. a new life , without anyone else involved . without him involved . elainas cries knocked him out of his thoughts . he looked at her , seeing that she had dropped her favorite plush . it was a poodle , dubbed by elaina as “ mlem “ . strange name , but gustave didnt care . he just wanted his baby girl to be happy . picking up the plush , gustave handed it back to his now mellow daughter . she happily hugged the dog and began to doze off . a small smile snuck its way onto his lips . he could never get enough of his daughter .

heading towards the checkout counter , gustave paid for his groceries . he held two bags on each arm , along with elaina in the baby carrier on his chest . gustave strolled down the sidewalk , humming . he suddenly stopped as he spotted the local bar ….. and a figure lying on the curb . gustave walked over and examined the man . he had salt and pepper colored hair , and a toned skin color . the man also had a leather jacket on ; nice touch . baby blue eyes spotted a few injuries here and there , not too serious but certainly painful to receive .

“ monsieur …… are you alright ? do you need medical assistance ? “
