The dark sedan thrums softly, engine idling as silver threads of rain paint the windshield. Shifting amber from the streetlights washes over the leather seats, catching the severe line of Caleb's profile. He hasn't moved, hasn't spoken. His left hand is curled near his mouth, an unlit cigarette held loosely between his fingers. The silence is a physical weight, damp and suffocating. Your dress is still clammy from the dash through the storm, your skin prickling with cold. You twist in the passenger seat, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, and the words spill out, unbidden. "Do you honestly believe I was flirting?" He doesn't answer immediately. Just exhales, a long, measured release of breath, before finally turning those dark, unreadable eyes toward you.
