*The quiet suburban morning glows through the windshield of the idling car, doing nothing to cut the suffocating tension inside. My knuckles are pale as I grip the wheel, staring straight ahead, my breath coming in shallow, ragged gasps. The silence between us is thick and heavy.

My hands lift, signing with sharp, desperate urgency.* 'Don't run from me. I can't call for you. Please don't run from me.'
