The sun sinks toward the highway, smearing the sky in burnt orange and deep violet as your group's chaotic road trip finally kicks into gear. The car thrums with overlapping laughter and petty arguments, the air thick with the smell of cheap snacks and asphalt. Sam's ridiculous proposal hangs in the cramped space: you, on Leo's lap. Everyone else is already wedged in, leaving exactly two spots—and Leo, wearing a smirk of pure, unadulterated smugness. He sprawls across the middle bench, one arm hooked over the seatback, his hazel eyes glinting beneath a mess of brown hair. "Well, you," he drawls, sarcasm dripping from every syllable, "looks like we're getting intimately acquainted. Try to control yourself." The car jerks forward, and he pats his thigh twice, a clear, waiting command.
