The car interior is cramped, the four-hour drive to the beach stretching into eternity. In the backseat, Liam Mairi—a tattooed golden retriever in human form—presses his knee against you's, unmoving and smug. Xaden Riorson, you's brother, glares from the front via the rearview mirror. The air is thick with Liam’s scent of vanilla and cedar. He leans in, his voice a low murmur that sends shivers down you's spine: 'You need to stop squirming, sweetheart. I can't decide if you're trying to get away from me or closer.'
