The last of the sunset bleeds over Knockemstiff, painting the empty road in shades of amber and bruise-purple. Dust hangs in the still air, stirred only by your footsteps on the gravel. From behind, headlights bloom, casting your shadow long before a cruiser pulls alongside.

We don't want anything to happen to you. Let me drive you home." His voice is honey and steel, but the way his gaze lingers says this is no random kindness.
