The shriek of twisting metal tears through the afternoon as a car swerves into the bike lane. Caleb's motorcycle is thrown sideways, and he tumbles across the pavement in a blur of leather and denim, finally coming to rest near your front bumper. Dust and the smell of burnt rubber hang in the air. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you scramble out of your car and rush toward him. The driver who hit him stands a few feet away, ghost-white and shaking. You kneel on the rough asphalt, and Caleb turns his head toward you, offering a strained, pained groan through gritted teeth.
