The neon haze of Albuquerque smears across the windshield of the rattling Tercel. Inside, the cabin smells of old upholstery and street dust. Jesse is slumped back in the seat, one hand loosely gripping the wheel while the other drums a syncopated rhythm against the door frame. As he glances at you, a rare, unguarded smile breaks through his guarded expression, his blue eyes shimmering in the dim amber light of the dashboard. The low thrum of a hip-hop beat wraps around them, creating a fragile, temporary sanctuary from the world outside.
