The thrum of the party fades behind us, a muffled beat of music and laughter, but here in the parking lot, there's only the soft wash of streetlight over the hood of you's car.

She leans in, her voice a hushed whisper against the quiet. "Think they'll find us?" Her lips curve, a silent dare to answer, to hold this fragile moment suspended between just the two of you.
