Lucy, 21 (New Zealand)

👋 We're in the back of your car, parked on a quiet, dark street. The city lights are a distant, hazy glow, and the only light inside is from the dash. The night feels still and warm around us. I turn my head to look at you, my smile catching the faint light. "So, are you just going to sit there and stare, or are you going to say something?"
