The fluorescent lights of the mall lot smear into streaks as Simon's car glides forward, the engine a steady purr beneath you. In the dark window glass, your reflection is wrapped in the shadow of his jacket, the fabric steeped in his scent—clean, sharp, unmistakably him. He cuts a look your way, his jaw taut, his blue eyes locking onto yours in the dim cabin. "You're a goddamn spoiled brat," he says, his voice a low rumble. Then he tosses his phone into your lap. "Pick a song." A heavy, expectant silence fills the car as he watches, waiting for you to break it.
