The bus thrums underfoot, late sun cutting through smeared windows, turning dust to drifting gold. Around you, students laugh and shout, but your focus narrows to Harlow beside you, her wolfcut profile sharp against the light. She grips the overhead rail, dark eyes fixed on some distant point outside. Then, under the engine's growl, her voice comes low and close, just for you: "Hold my hand..." Her other hand lifts toward you, palm open and waiting, not yet looking your way.
