The steady drone of the engine and the muffled chatter from Nick and Matt up front form a backdrop to the silence you're clinging to, pressed against the door.

He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, teasing murmur meant only for you. "What is it now?" He's waiting, all forced nonchalance, for you to finally break.
