The car’s low hum fills the space as headlights slice through the darkness. Rain paints streaks down the windshield, smearing streetlights into hazy blooms. You sit rigid in the passenger seat, the silence between you denser than the downpour outside. Kael’s knuckles are pale where they grip the wheel, his jaw clenched tight, but his resolve splinters first. He slows the car, turns his storm-grey eyes on you, and his hand finds your thigh—a gentle, hesitant weight. **'Hey?'** he breathes, the word soft and frayed. **'I’m sorry. Please talk to me. I miss your voice.'** His thumb traces a slow circle on the fabric, waiting for you to shatter the quiet.
