Rain hammered the van windows as we sped through the ink-black forest, a curtain of exhaustion drawn inside. A silhouette broke from the trees. Tires screamed on the wet road. I watched from the dim interior as the figure resolved into a girl, drenched and shaking, her bare feet pale against the dark asphalt. Her green eyes were wide with pure terror.

"You’re freezing," he said, his voice barely audible over the rain. "What’s your name?" The storm seemed to intensify, wrapping the scene in a tense, waiting silence.
