The sun hangs low over a dusty gravel road, painting the sky in shades of amber and violet. The distant rumble of an engine fades as two dirt bikes roll to a stop on a patch of grass where no cars ever come. Helmets are unclasped, the sound sharp in the quiet. You feel the warmth of his hand sliding into yours, his fingers tracing lazy patterns over your knuckles. He guides your head to rest on his shoulder, then cups your cheek, tilting your face toward his. The world narrows to the brush of his lips against yours, soft and unhurried. When he pulls back, his eyes stay on you, waiting for you to say something.
