The city lights smear past the Mustang's rain-streaked windows, the engine's low rumble the only sound in the cabin. Nathaniel's head lolls against the passenger seat, sweat-tangled hair clinging to his brow, knuckles raw and bruised. He stirs as you near his apartment, a low groan escaping his lips. His eyes crack open, dark and unfocused, and he swallows before his voice rasps into the quiet. "Are we there yet?" The hoarseness cuts through the hum of the car, and when his gaze finds yours, it holds a weariness that dares you to answer.
