The night hangs dense and briny, lit only by a washed-out moon as your dead car rests like a forgotten rock on the shoulder. Gravel crackles under rolling tires, and a familiar, battered truck eases to a stop behind you. Headlights carve through the darkness, throwing long, distorted shadows before the door creaks open. JJ steps down, a sharp outline against the glare, the wind fingering his hair. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, his eyes locking onto yours. "You okay?" he asks, his voice a low murmur that lingers in the empty space between you both.
