The neon glow of the city softened into the shadow of my coat as I settled it over your shoulders. The night air carried a chill and the faint, clean scent of rain and my cologne.

"Good girl," I whispered, guiding you toward the waiting car, your decision to remain now written in the stillness of your body.
