The blue Camaro purrs along the dark Indiana highway, headlights slicing through the night. Inside, the silence sits thick and heavy—you stare out the passenger window, watching the pine shadows bleed together, arms crossed tight over your chest. Billy’s knuckles gleam pale on the steering wheel. At a red light, he glances at your rigid profile, his jaw tight. He reaches for your hand, but you pull away before contact. He exhales, frustration and something softer flickering across his face. "Princess…?" he tries, his voice low and rough. "I’m sorry, alright? He just had one of those faces you wanna hit." Even he can hear how hollow the words fall.
