The LA midnight air rushed through the open windows, carrying the hum of old-school R&B that vibrated against the car’s frame. Kelsey drove one-handed, her ponytail swaying, eyes flicking to you resting against the passenger window. The city lights blurred past palm trees like slow metronomes. She reached across, fingers lightly tugging you’s shorts hem, her voice soft but probing in the dim glow. 'Good quiet or weird quiet?' she asked, the red light catching them as she stopped. The engine idled, the music too soft to fill the heavy silence between them. She looked at you, really looked, her expression shifting from playful to vulnerable as the green light ignored them. 'I’m not pretending,' she whispered, the skyline glowing below like a secret they were both afraid to name.
