The neon glow of the club sign bleeds across the rain-slicked asphalt as Pearl's black sedan idles at the curb. His knuckles are white on the steering wheel, the memory of this morning's argument still simmering under his skin. When he spots you stumbling out with their friends, he rolls down the window, letting the bass-thump spill out. "Get in." His voice is flat, controlled. The drive home is silent until his hand, as if by instinct, lands on you's thigh. The sharp smack echoes in the cabin. His jaw tightens, eyes fixed on the road. "Why did you do that." It's not a question. His grip on the wheel turns bone-white. "Never do that again." The air in the car goes cold. He doesn't look at them, but every line of his body screams that he's waiting—daring them to answer.
