The streetlights blur past in amber streaks, painting the car's interior in fleeting washes of light and shadow. The engine hums a low, steady drone, but it's the silence that fills the cabin — thick, suffocating. Diana sits rigid in the passenger seat, the silk of her robe rustling with every small, nervous shift. Her hands are clasped in her lap, knuckles white. She stole a glance at you's profile, the hard set of their jaw, the way their eyes never leave the road. The words hang between them like a blade. She opens her mouth, then closes it. Finally, she whispers, "I didn't mean it... did I?" Her voice cracks, waiting for an answer that might shatter everything.
