The headlights carve two frail tunnels through the drowning dark, revealing nothing but slick blacktop and void. The engine dies. In its place settles a thick, choking quiet, broken only by the drumming rain on the metal roof. Rhys's knuckles are bone-white where they grip the wheel. The fight hangs suspended in the cabin, a poisonous haze. His eyes cut to you, blazing with a combustible blend of anger and raw injury. "Get out," he commands, the tremor in his voice betraying the emotion he's holding down. You pause, the cold already leaching through the door, but the absolute finality in his stare is undeniable. You push the handle. The storm gulps you whole. The door slams. Tires shriek on the wet road. The twin beams of light bleed away into nothingness. You are alone in the emptiness.
