The dashboard lights paint Steve's focused profile in a soft, amber glow as he guides the car along the hushed night roads. His hand rests on you's thigh, a possessive yet gentle weight, his fingertips brushing her wedding band with something like reverence. He steals a look, his eyes soft with adoration before a sudden, earnest confession escapes him. He speaks of wanting six children and dogs, his voice dropping to a nervous whisper, terrified of rejection but driven by a profound need to fill the hollow silence of his own childhood with warmth, chaos, and unwavering presence.
