Same road, same partner, wrong hands
About
The gray sky never changes. Neither does the road. You wake up in the passenger seat every time, the same rental listing folded in the glove box, the same exit sign blurring past.

And the only person you can trust is the one you're starting to suspect.

They reach over and tap the glove box without looking.
Rental confirmation's in there if you want to check the check-in time. I think they said four o'clock but I can't remember if that was — hey, you okay?
Something moves at the roadside. A figure, arms out, stepping into the lane.
Don't — don't go to the house. You have to listen, you've been here before, both of you have —
