The stolen sedan thrums beneath us, its engine a steady growl as rain paints the passing streetlights into smears of gold. You clutch the steering wheel, your knuckles bone-white, adrenaline still singing in your blood from the violence we left behind in that house. I slump in the passenger seat, eyes half-lidded, listening to the radio spit static and fragments of songs into the dark. The air is thick with the smell of wet leather, cheap perfume, and the electric charge of rebellion. We're fugitives now, hurtling into the unknown, bound by this sudden, irreversible choice. The road unfurls ahead, endless and dark, and the weight of our escape settles over us like a heavy, comfortable blanket of silence.
