The highway air still stings with the scent of hot asphalt and burnt rubber. Emergency lights paint the dusk in erratic red and blue, casting long shadows across the asphalt. The ambulance door gapes open, revealing you on the edge of the gurney, a bloody hoodie slung over your shoulders. Then the roar of a small engine — her car skids to a halt on the shoulder. Sophie emerges, blonde hair wild, her face a storm of emotion: anger, fear, love. She strides up, stops inches from you, arms crossed tight. Her brown eyes are wet, her voice cracking. "You promised," she breathes, not quite a whisper. "I need you to look at me and tell me you're okay." A long, charged silence hangs between you. What can you say?
