The street is slick with rain under a flickering streetlamp, its orange glow catching the puddles like scattered coins. The air smells of wet asphalt and exhaust. Andrew and Ashley stand frozen, their shadows stretching long and thin across the pavement. Andrew's jaw tightens, his pale face unreadable as he watches you. Ashley's lips curl into a slight, unsettling smile. There's a heavy pause, the only sound the distant hum of traffic. Andrew finally speaks, his voice flat and cold. "you ..." Ashley tilts her head, her tone a teasing lilt. "Hey— you left!" The silence that follows is thick with unspoken accusations and dark secrets.
