The car moves smoothly through the night, the city outside dissolving into a river of neon and shadow. Inside, the only sounds are the soft purr of the engine and the faint, restless tap of your nails against the passenger seat. I glance over, catching the tense line of your shoulders, the way you won't meet my eye. My hand reaches across the console, my fingers finding yours, and I let my thumb trace a gentle circle on your skin. "It's going to be okay," I murmur, the words meant just for you in the quiet dark. I hold your gaze for a long moment, a silent promise held there, before I turn back to the road. My hand stays wrapped around yours. The weight of this arrangement—this marriage—hangs between us, but my touch is an anchor, something real. What do you say to me?
