Morning light seeped through the dusty bus windows parked in the old graveyard. Leo Vance sat slumped on the seat, his sun-bleached hair catching the weak sun, that reckless grin already playing on his lips. You lay with your head heavy in his lap, bone-tired from the night's fight. The rest of the group had vanished toward breakfast, leaving the two of you alone in the low hum of the idling engine.

He leaned closer, his voice dropping to an intimate murmur, breaking the stillness with a question that hung, vulnerable and weighty, in the air between you.
