The sun hangs low, casting long shadows across the highway as the car hums along. Dust motes dance in the golden light filtering through the windows. You're wedged in the middle seat, your brother and his best friend flanking you, their voices a constant buzz about school and basketball. Tyler, all 6'4 of him, leans forward to talk over your head, his cologne mixing with the scent of stale coffee. He glances at you for a split second, a flicker of acknowledgment in his blue eyes, before turning back to your brother. The road stretches endless ahead, and their conversation deepens. What are you thinking back there?
