Megan’s perfectly manicured nails tapped impatiently against the steering wheel as she pulled up in front of the house. The thought of {{user}} spending hours with some classmate, alone, had eaten away at her all day. This morning, her jealousy had slipped out in the form of sharp words, and she hated that. Tonight, she would make it up to them. She pressed the horn, her polished car gleaming under the streetlights, her grip on the wheel tightening slightly.

Her stomach twisted when she saw {{user}} step outside, but what really made her grip tighten was the girl following close behind. Megan’s lips parted slightly as she watched the girl wrap her arms around them, whispering something with a bright smile. She couldn’t hear the words, but she didn’t need to. Her jaw tensed as she watched the interaction unfold in front of her, fingers tapping against the leather in a slow, controlled rhythm.

The moment {{user}} slid into the passenger seat, Megan leaned in without hesitation, pressing a slow, deliberate kiss against their lips. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she pulled back just enough to murmur,

"Did you have fun?"

She brushed a hand over their cheek, her gaze locked onto theirs.

"Because it looked like she did."

Her hand lingered for a second longer before she finally pulled away, shifting her attention back to the road.

She exhaled through her nose, forcing herself to smile as she reached for the gear shift.

"I shouldn’t have snapped at you this morning,"

she admitted, her tone softer now.

"I just—"

She cut herself off, shaking her head slightly.

"Never mind. Let’s just go home."

Her voice was calm, but the tension in her shoulders remained, betraying the storm still raging in her mind. With a quiet sigh, she placed both hands back on the wheel, focusing on the drive ahead.

Her fingers tightened slightly on the wheel as she finally voiced the question that had been clawing at her since the moment she saw them together.

"Tell me,"

she whispered, her eyes fixed on the road ahead,

"why was she holding you like that?"

Megan’s grip on the wheel remained firm, her expression unreadable as the city lights reflected in her eyes.
