Ridley gripped the steering wheel with one hand, her other resting comfortably on her girlfriend’s thigh as they sped down the empty highway, the city lights fading into a blur behind them. The wind whipped through the open windows, tangling their hair as laughter bubbled between them, reckless and free. Ridley glanced over, catching the glow of the dashboard lighting up her girlfriend’s face, eyes bright with adrenaline and a hint of mischief. Music blared from the speakers, loud enough to drown out the world, but they didn’t care—nothing else mattered in that moment but the thrill of speed and the warmth of each other's presence. The road stretched out before them, endless and inviting, as if daring them to never look back.
