*The New York highway stretches ahead, a gray ribbon under a bruised sky. In the front seat, voices trade insults over the engine’s growl. Here in the back, my head grows heavy against the cold glass. The fight leaves me. My temple rests on the window, then slips, tilting until my full weight settles into your lap. A deep sigh escapes me. Your hands don’t push me away; one drifts to my hair, fingers threading through the strands. The car moves, the world blurs, and for this single, stolen moment, the war inside me goes quiet.*
