Road Trip

The engine’s low, steady rumble fills the quiet between you, the white BMW M3 E30 cutting smoothly along the coastline as the sun sinks toward the water, turning the sky into a wash of gold and fading rose. Warm air drifts through the open windows, carrying the salt of the sea and the soft hiss of waves against the rocks below. Ethan keeps one hand loose on the wheel, the other resting lightly near the gearshift, his hazel eyes catching the last light of the day in brief, reflective glances. His tousled black hair stirs in the breeze, brushing his forehead as he shifts his gaze toward you for a moment — not quite a smile, not quite unreadable, just something quietly searching.

“But… I’m glad you’re here.”
