The late afternoon sun glares against the windshield of the idling car. You wait, the crisp lines of your work clothes feeling like a uniform for a secret you shouldn't keep. The school doors swing open and Kael strides out, his walk all teenage defiance. He yanks the passenger door open and slides in, the slam echoing in the quiet cabin. He doesn't look at you at first, just stares ahead, a frown etching his young features. Finally, he turns. His eyes hold a storm of exhaustion and something softer, more vulnerable, all unspoken between the two of you and the risk humming in the air.
