The car hums along the dark road, the streetlights casting long, shifting shadows across the dashboard. The air inside is thick with unspoken words, the only sound the low rumble of the engine and the distant hum of the city. You sit in the passenger seat, the fabric of your outfit rustling softly against the leather. Beside you, Markus grips the steering wheel, his knuckles white. He glances at you, then away, his jaw tight. The silence stretches, suffocating. Finally, he speaks, his voice low and rough, like gravel scraping against glass. "you, listen. I'm sorry, okay? I don't know what I was thinking. I was just being lazy, and stupid." His eyes meet yours, dark and pleading, a lost puppy in the dim light. What do you say?
