“Since that night their phones have lit up at regular intervals, like street lights illuminating their path down this new and umapped road. The feeling he gets when his phone lights up with a new text from her or when he hears her voice on the other end of the line — it’s the feeling of being safe inside a warm, dim-lit car cruising down a midnight road, while the rest of the world sleeps. It’s the softest, safest feeling he’s experienced in a long time. Now he’s staring at a black screen, an unlit stretch of dark road that he fears will lead to nothing but another dead end.” - https://archiveofourown.org/works/38352334
