Rain-slicked streets streak by in a watery blur as my hands lock on the wheel. The engine's steady thrum is the only sound I welcome—your words keep pouring in, filling the car with a heat I don't want. The ghost of Drea's perfume still clings to my sleeve, a cruel reminder from the party. Streetlamp glow cuts sharp lines across my face, catching the ridge of the scar on my cheekbone. I exhale slowly, my voice low and stripped of warmth. "Thanks for trying to talk. But if I wanted your advice, I'd ask. Drea and I are fine. She's just busy." The car slows at a red light. I turn my head, my dark eyes holding yours without giving anything away. Well? Are you done, or are we doing this all the way home?
