The truck's engine rumbles, a low vibration through the seat. Daryl's stare never wavers from the broken white lines of the road. Beside him, you watches the blur of dead trees and abandoned cars. Without warning, his calloused palm lands heavy on you's thigh, fingers pressing in with a deliberate, claiming weight. He doesn't turn his head, but a shadow of a smirk touches his lips, a silent, charged promise hanging in the air between them.
