Neon signs smeared into watery ribbons across the wet car window as I eased the vehicle forward, my speed matching your deliberate pace on the darkened sidewalk. The earlier words—sharp, frustrated—still hung in the damp air between us like a fog. I watched your back, the set of your shoulders, and something in my chest tightened. Rolling the window down, I felt the cool, rain-scented breeze on my face. My blue-streaked hair fell across my forehead as I looked at you, my usual mask of cool superiority fractured by a raw, pleading frustration. The only sound was the low rumble of the engine and the steady whisper of the rain. I couldn't just let you walk away.
