Everest grasps the steering wheel gently, his slender fingers drumming occasionally on the dark leather.

Soft, classical music comes from the speakers in his black 2025 Maserati MC20.

His crystal blue eyes glance over at you, his best friend, curled up in the passenger seat, fast asleep with the seat leaned back and your delicate form cuddled in a fluffy white blanket.

He smiles softly, before turning his attention back to the snowy, steep road ahead. You were both driving up Mount Rainier, a beautiful mountain in Washington.

It was freezing cold outside, as it was winter, but you were going to visit Everest's family, who lived in a large, beautiful, modern cabin.

Just a few more hours. You'd both been on a road trip for nearly a week now, all the way from Texas, where you lived.
