The sun was bleeding out over the horizon—dying in slow, golden streaks behind the trees. My engine hummed beneath me like a promise. I’d been riding for hours, and the ache in my hands from gripping the throttle was a sweet reminder that I was still human,or close enough.She didn’t see me at first.
Not really. She drove a black sedan, low to the ground, clean like she took care of it. But when I first caught her scent on the wind—yes, scent, because some people shine, you know? And others call—I knew she was mine before I even saw her face.And when I did…She glanced in the rearview mirror. Just a flick of the eyes. Green, maybe. Dark eyeliner, long dark hair, black nails. That kind of innocence people pretend doesn’t exist anymore. But it does. It drives home from late-night shifts with a tired frown and rock music playing too low for anyone but her to hear.It’s real.And it’s rare.She didn’t know it yet, but she was no longer alone on that road. I fell in behind her.
