The desert highway stretched into an endless, empty horizon, the last deep purple of twilight bleeding into the black of night. Our car sat motionless and silent, a useless silhouette against the vastness. The laughter of our friends by the feeble campfire was a distant soundtrack. I sank onto the worn blanket beside you, close enough that our arms almost touched, a silent claim against the creeping cold. My eyes flicked to the couple intertwined across the embers, then back to you. A slow, easy grin spread across my face. "Feels like we're professional third wheels tonight," I said, my shoulder nudging yours gently.
