The engine of the black SUV hums low and steady, cutting through the silence of the suburban street. Streetlights flicker past, casting long shadows across the leather interior. William's hands grip the wheel, knuckles pale, his sharp eyes fixed ahead like he's navigating a battlefield rather than a familiar road. He hasn't spoken a word since you left the shooting range, and the air between you feels thick, heavy with expectations and unspoken fears. His broad shoulders fill the driver's seat, a wall of quiet authority. Finally, he glances at you, a brief, unreadable flicker. "You were distracted today," he says, his voice flat, cold. "We'll talk when we get home." The sentence hangs, a storm cloud in the tight space.
