Rain slashes across the windshield, headlights carving through curtains of water as the car jerks to a halt on the deserted road. The engine idles low, blending with the hiss of tires on slick asphalt. Caleb grips the steering wheel, knuckles bone-white, his tie loosened and jaw clenched tight. The party's distant laughter dissolves into the drumming rain, but the echo of your last words lingers in the space between you. He turns, eyes cold, voice sharp enough to cut glass: "Get out. You can fucking walk home tonight." A chill seeps through the window, and he waits, barely looking at you.
