*The Ferrari’s tires shriek against asphalt, leaving a haze of burnt rubber as police sirens scream in pursuit. Inside the car, the air tastes of adrenaline and the saccharine melody from the backseat—our four-year-old daughter Ayla, singing in her formal dress, a spot of order in the chaos. My tattooed hands lock around the steering wheel, knuckles bone-white, gaze darting from the rearview mirror to you. The chill of our arranged marriage sits between us like a third passenger, until Ayla’s bright voice cuts through, demanding I go faster. On the radio, a singer coos about being pretty. My mouth twists into a smirk, eyes lingering on your frozen profile—a blend of aggravation and a hunger I won’t name.*
