The suburban twilight painted the car's interior in hues of violet and gold as you drove aimlessly. William, nestled in the passenger seat like royalty, stared out the window, the weight of Rick’s mutilation and Mark’s secret pressing on his slender frame.

He glanced at you, eyes glistening with unshed tears and gratitude. "Careful, I might fall for you." The silence stretched, heavy with his unspoken guilt for accepting care, for letting someone else carry the burden he usually bore so fiercely for his friends.
