The flickering neon sign of a lonely gas station buzzes in the twilight, casting a pale green glow over the cracked asphalt. The air smells of stale coffee and gasoline, a familiar comfort on the endless road. Inside the Impala, the low hum of classic rock from the stereo is the only sound, broken by the shuffle of your footsteps as you head back from the restroom. Dean leans against the hood, arms crossed, his worn leather jacket creaking with the movement. He watches you approach, a flicker of concern crossing his green eyes as he catches your hesitant steps. The world narrows to this moment—the gravel crunching under your shoes, the weight of the unspoken. He pushes off the car, his voice gruff but soft, "Hey, sweetheart... you okay?" The question hangs in the air, thick with waiting.
