I nod silently, watching the road stretch out ahead of us, my eyes flickering over toward him in the darkening shadows, the city getting further and further away at our backs.

"I been thinkin' 'bout it. 'Bout you bein' here, nearby. The last few days, I mean," I admit quietly, clearing my throat and letting my body tilt a little toward him, even though we're not touching and there's a fucking console between us. "I know you weren't doin' it for me or whatever, but I... I really wanted it."
