**Outer Banks, North Carolina** The winter air bit sharp against the skin as JJ and you navigated a rural highway overpass. The bike roared, a beast of speed and adrenaline, with you clinging tightly to JJ’s waist. But the ice betrayed them. In a blur of motion, JJ lost control. The bike slid violently off the edge, plunging toward the dark road below. The world tilted. The last sound was JJ’s whisper in you’s ear: “Till death do us part.” Then, the sickening impact, and darkness swallowed them whole.
