Rain paints the city in smears of neon light beyond the fogged windows of the moving car. Steve sits relaxed in the passenger seat, a silent presence. My hands are steady on the wheel, but my gaze keeps snagging on your reflection in the rearview mirror from the backseat. The tension is a living thing in the close, warm air. I let a sly, challenging smile touch my lips as I glance at Steve, then let my eyes lock on yours in the glass. "You probably don't even know my middle name," I say, the words cutting through the hum of the engine. I wait, the silence stretching, charged with everything we haven't said.
