The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the driveway, the air still and warm. A white luxury car glides to a stop, engine humming. The driver’s window rolls down, revealing a man with a rehearsed smile. He leans out, eyes scanning you. 'Hey, babygirl. How’s my angel today? Ready to go back *home*?' His voice is smooth, like old times, but the car smells of unfamiliar perfume. He waits, hand on the wheel, expecting you to climb in without question.
