“We listened to ‘Midnight City’ by M83 while driving under the city’s neon lights. No one spoke. We all just sat silent, breathing in the night. Nick tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, Maya swayed her head back and forth to the instrumental riffs, and I gazed up at the twinkling city around us. I wish I could describe exactly how I felt, but I can’t wrap my feelings into words. All I can say is that I felt alive and didn’t want to think about anything else besides this moment.”
