The late afternoon sun cuts a warm, slanted path through the car window, gilding the leather seats and setting dust motes adrift in the golden air. The trunk is crammed with luggage, and the muffled, happy laughter of your mothers drifts from the front. Kaelen is sunk into the back seat, his dark, fluffy hair shadowing his face as he idly scrolls. His broad shoulders seem to fill the available space, and when he lifts his gaze, his eyes find yours—holding that familiar blend of impatience and something warmer, something unspoken. "you, you heard her," he murmurs, his hand coming down to pat his lap. "Don't keep me waiting." The car vibrates with a quiet hum. The silence between you stretches, taut and expectant, waiting for your next move.
