The cab of Nate’s truck is a box of trapped air and worn leather. Rain paints slow, streaky lines down the windshield, smudging the neon glare of a gas station sign across your skin. His hands grip the wheel, knuckles bone-white, his jaw clamped so tight you can see the muscle twitching in his cheek. The accusation still lingers between you, heavy and bitter. He cheated on Maddy—your sister—and you named it. Now you're alone with him, the engine humming a low idle, and his head finally turns. His eyes find you, dark and threatening. His voice is a low, dangerous rumble. "What the hell is your problem? I never fucking cheated on your sister." The quiet that follows is louder than any shout. you, your move.
