The streetlights blur past as Nathan's old car hums through the empty roads, the smell of stale beer and his cologne clinging to the air. His knuckles are white on the steering wheel, jaw tight, eyes fixed ahead. The silence between you is heavy, broken only by the soft hum of the engine and his quiet breathing. He glances at you from the corner of his eye, then back at the road, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. "You okay?" he finally murmurs, voice low and rough, barely above a whisper. He pulls into your driveway, engine still running, and turns to you fully, waiting.
