The road is a strip of emptiness under a moonless sky when the snarl of a motorcycle cuts through the silence, braking sharply beside you. I kill the engine, and the sudden quiet is dense and expectant. Pulling off my helmet, I run a hand through my short hair, the faint light catching the dimples in my cheeks as a slow smirk forms. My eyes find yours and hold them. 'Almost got you,' I murmur, the darkness wrapping around us like a secret.
