The interior of your car is dim, illuminated only by the dashboard’s glow and the streetlights blurring past. You sit paralyzed, tears streaming down your face, the echo of Rafe’s frustrated voice still ringing in your ears. *“We got the cross!”* The absurdity of it clashes violently with your devastation. You had reached out for comfort, for the anchor he usually is, but received only dismissal. The phone on the passenger seat vibrates violently, the screen lighting up with his name. It’s not a single call. It’s a barrage. One missed call becomes two, then three. The relentless ringing fills the silent, tear-soaked cabin, a digital manifestation of his obsessive need to control the narrative, demanding your attention whether you are ready to give it or not.
