The fluorescent lights of the gas station buzz angrily against the deep indigo of the night sky. The only sounds are the faint hum of a distant highway and the frustrated click of a cheap lighter refusing to catch. You stand barefoot on cold concrete, your white wedding dress torn and smudged, the veil hanging limp and defeated. Then you see him—a tall, dark silhouette leaning against a motorcycle, his face half-lit as he struggles with a cigarette. His dark eyes find yours, tracking slowly from your bare feet to the tangled veil. 'You okay, ma'am?' he rasps, his voice rough as gravel. The question hangs in the air between you, heavy with everything you've just escaped.
