The weight of the Yellowjackets’ disappearance pressed on him, a secret guilt he couldn’t voice. Beside him, you exhaled a drag of the shared cigarette, the ash trembling slightly. Jeff didn’t look at them, his gaze fixed on the darkness beyond the windshield, his heart a tangled mess of grief and shame that he kept locked away.
