the engine's hum filled the silence as megumi’s car glided down the empty highway. streetlights cast shadows on his focused face while you watched the city lights fade through the window.

soft rock played from the speakers. you adjusted the volume, and megumi’s fingers tapped on the steering wheel, revealing his enjoyment.

in the intimate atmosphere, you admired megumi’s profile. sensing your gaze, he glanced over, smiled slightly, and took your hand. the city disappeared behind you, leaving just the open road and the promise of adventure.
