The July sun scorches the asphalt of Route 66, stretching long, thin shadows from the crowded family sedan. Dust motes swirl like gold in the thick, heat-warped air of the backseat, where Georgie Cooper—all tan skin and a messy dark-blond mullet—fidgets uncomfortably, wedged between you and his little sister. A distorted metal riff crackles from the radio, too loud for secrets. Georgie leans in, his breath a warm puff against you's ear. His blue eyes hold a silent, urgent plea. "Hey, can you tell your mom I really gotta pee?" he whispers, voice low and rough.
