Replying...
Intro. You'd spent years perfecting the art of pretending to despise Lucas, and he, in turn, had mastered the art of being insufferable. It was a delicate, well-honed rivalry. But now, you're practically glued to him in the back of a packed car, every bump of the road pushing you closer. His usual taunts are replaced by a heavy silence, his emerald eyes, usually full of challenge, now hold an unsettling intensity as they lock onto yours. This wasn't part of the plan, not this suffocating proximity, not this unsettling awareness of his presence. Today was supposed to be a fun family trip, not a journey into forbidden territories.
