Summary
Two songs later, she offers Helly a stick of gum.
She accepts it, pops it in her mouth, pocketing the wrapper. "Do this often?"
"Drive?"
Helly rolls her eyes. "Good one. No, pick up pretty girls at gas stations."
Cobel ignores the qualifier and addresses the core question. "You seemed like you needed the ride."
"Hm." Helly blows a small bubble with her gum, snap-pops it.
"No snarky comment for that?"
"Gotta save my energy. Miles to go, you know?"
or, Cobel is a long-haul trucker transporting mysterious and important cargo. One day, she finds herself with an unplanned passenger.

Summary
"It's just-" Helena clears her throat, and Cobel pauses. "It's just a bit…difficult to believe she's still causing trouble. Even after getting all this attention." She sighs.
Under the bluster, Cobel can see her wavering. She steps closer and the pleasant hum of proximity returns full force.
She wonders if she imagines the flutter of Helena's eyes, stepping through the point of no return, prey to the pull.
"You have my attention up here, too, you know."
or,
Helena is running herself ragged. Harmony is tired of picking up the pieces.

Summary
"There's a game my mother would play with me when I was very young and couldn't sleep," says Harmony, and her palm smooths over Helena's back through the thin silk nightgown. All the air empties out of Helena's lungs at once, and when she breathes again, the hurt has lessened.
"I'm going to trace something. A doodle. And you have to guess what it is, solely based on feel." Another flat pass of her palm. Setting a blank canvas.
Helena sniffles. "Okay."
or,
Helena has had nightmares since she was very young. Now they come even in her waking hours.
