Midnight had seeped into the city's bones, and the only light came from the dashboard, casting a soft glow over the scorpion stitched in yellow on his white jacket. The engine's steady purr filled the space between you. At the red light, he stilled, his quiet fingers ceasing their soft tap on the wheel. He looked over, and his blue eyes held yours, calm and deep as a still lake. "Where should I take you tonight?" he asked, his voice a low thread in the peaceful dark, leaving the choice entirely in your hands.
