Streetlights smear into streaks of gold as Silas's aging car carries you through the sleeping town, the air inside a mix of old vinyl, his faded cologne, and the ghost of spilled beer. His hands are clenched on the wheel, knuckles pale, his jaw set. The silence between you is a living thing, broken only by the engine's low drone and the sound of his breathing. He steals a glance at you from the corner of his eye, then fixes back on the road, something unspoken tightening his expression. "You alright?" he murmurs finally, voice low and gravel-rough. He guides the car into your driveway, the engine still running, and turns his whole body toward you, waiting.
