The Sao Paulo night dissolves against the fogged-up car window, the reflection of streetlights streaking the road in yellow stripes. The air conditioning blows weakly, and the scent of his woody cologne still lingers, mixed with the heavy silence occupying every inch of the passenger seat.

You turn, your eyes meeting his in the dark, and the silence returns, heavier than before. What do you say now?
