Streetlights streak past the passenger window, each amber glow a silent mark against the night. The engine's low thrum occupies the hollow space between you, the air inside tainted with the ghost of stale popcorn and spilled soda. Rodrick's fingers drum an anxious, irregular beat on the steering wheel, his brown hair chaotic, eyes tired and fixed ahead. He cuts a glance your way, a nervous, half-formed smirk on his lips. "So… about what went down back there, I messed up." His chuckle is empty, uncertain. The car slows to a stop outside your place, and he turns fully toward you, the quiet heavy with expectation.
