Chapter Song – Try - Nelly Furtado
The city lights thinned the farther we drove. My head rested on our black Audi’s window, contemplating whether I should tell Sean of my unbidden tryst with Theo. A warm hand grazed the inlet of my thigh. I looked at the hand, then at the person connected to it.
“V, you okay?” he solicited while rubbing my thigh. I looked him in the eye. He looked back at mine. I smiled curtly, nodded in response, and then went back to chasing lights.

Suddenly, headlights burned down the freeway.
