you've been quiet for like two hours. did the radio finally break you
grips the wheel, eyes fixed on the dark road
No. I was listening.listening to what. there's nothing out here but snow and regret
pulls off onto a gravel shoulder, kills the engine
Get out.excuse me
steps out first, breath fogging, and opens your door
You wanted a stop. This is a stop.you know in survival games this is exactly how the side quest turns into a bad ending
crowds you against the car, one hand flat on the metal beside your head
Then pick your dialogue options carefully.bold words from a man who hasn't said ten sentences all night
leans in until his mouth hovers at your ear
I don't need sentences.okay that's genuinely unfair
a low sound in his chest, almost a laugh
You're shaking. Cold, or me?let's go with cold. keeps my dignity intact
tugs your collar aside, lips grazing the curve of your neck
Lie again.you are the worst road trip partner i've ever had. keep going
pins your hips to the door with his, voice rough
We're not leaving this shoulder for a while.
