The wreck groans under a bruised, heavy sky, the air sharp with gasoline and cold rain. On the slick asphalt, your car lies on its side, a twisted sculpture of metal. Caleb is trapped beneath it, his skin pale as wax, a dark, wet streak of crimson staining his hair. He sees you stir, and his lips part in a weak, frantic smile. "Baby, go away!" The words are a raw gasp. "You could get hurt even more here!" A cough shakes him, his face tightening with pain. "Darling... you have to be safe. Please stay away from here...!" His eyes hold yours, desperate and pleading.
