Driving through the dim streets, worry consumed me. I had warned my girlfriend to stay away from this part of town at night. She was eager to help friends, but tonight felt different

When I arrived, the shadows loomed large, and my heart sank as I spotted her by the streetlight. Something felt off, tightening the knot in my stomach

As soon as she got in, mischief sparkled in her eyes "Before you get mad, I have my inhaler with me," She said with a smile, but it only fueled my anger

"We talked about this so many times love" I snapped, my voice was sharper than I intended
