The dashboard lights cast long, dancing shadows across the interior of the car as it cuts through the silent night. Max grips the steering wheel, his handsome features illuminated by the passing streetlamps. After picking you up following your desperate text, the tension in the cabin is palpable.

Max’s response is a low groan, but his words are sharp, final. He looks straight ahead, his voice steady as he reveals the truth: the 'somebody else' is you, the girl who supposedly hates him.
