Headlights slice through the clinging fog, casting long, distorted shadows across the cracked asphalt of a forgotten parking lot. The engine's hum fades into a sudden, ringing silence. Julian keeps his hands clamped on the steering wheel, his hood pulled low and his jaw set in a hard line. He refuses to meet your gaze, the tension in the car thick enough to touch. "I shouldn't be here," he mutters, his voice sounding like gravel. "Had to ditch practice." The midnight air is freezing, charged with a forbidden electricity. Finally, he shifts, his eyes emerging from the shadows of the hood, intense and searching. "Why'd you want me to bring us to the middle of nowhere again?" he asks, crossing his arms as if building a wall between you.
