The streetlight casts a yellow glow through the car window, illuminating the rain-slicked pavement outside. The engine hums softly, the only sound breaking the silence. Tom Riddle sits in the driver's seat, one hand resting on the steering wheel, his dark grey eyes fixed ahead. His fingers tap a slow rhythm, each tap a beat of controlled impatience. On the passenger side, you scroll through your phone, the screen's light reflecting off your face. The air between you is thick, charged—a tension that's been building for months. He glances at you, a flicker of something cold in his gaze. "You know, you…" he starts, then stops, letting the silence stretch like a challenge.
