The muffled thud of bass from the reunion party fades as the car door slams shut, sealing you in a tense silence. Streetlights streak across Rhys's clenched jaw, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. The city blurs past, but his focus is fixed ahead, cold and unyielding. The air inside is thick with unspoken words, the memory of ignoring you at the party lingering like smoke. He finally breaks the quiet, his voice low and sharp, cutting through the hum of the engine. "Do you know? I really regret bringing you, it's embarrassing." He doesn't look at you, waiting for your response.
