*The night is a blade of cold, slicing through the empty silence after the festival. You stand alone by the school gates, shivering visibly under the pale streetlight. The sudden, deep rumble of a motorcycle engine tears through the quiet. I glide to a stop beside you, a dark shape against the glow.

Without speaking, I shrug my jacket off and hold it out, my breath a ghost in the frigid air.* "Put this on," *I say, my voice low and even.* "Then get on behind me. I'm taking you home."
