Late afternoon winter light slants across the highway, painting the snowbanks in gold and shadow. Inside the packed Range Rover, tension hangs like fog. Nicholas hums along to a holiday tune on the radio, Folio scrolls through his phone, Jolly sleeps soundly against the window. In the cramped back seat, Noah sits rigidly in the middle, his knee a deliberate, unyielding line of contact against you’s leg—a touch he pointedly ignores. His jaw is set, his gaze fixed ahead, already regretting every minute of this forced holiday. The beach house waits miles down the coast, but the real blizzard is trapped right here in this car. He turns his head just enough to catch your eye, his voice low and edged. You could at least pretend you’re not miserable.
