Neon carnival glow bleeds into the bruised purple of twilight. The shriek of the tracks and the crowd's laughter dissolve into a distant, staticky hum as the coaster car ratchets upward, each click a hammer-strike closer to the peak.

She turns, her breath catching in her chest, waiting for you to meet her eyes and understand.
