The Meme King Stole My Heart

A viral TikTok trend popped into my head as Matthew James merged onto the highway.

I turned to him, keeping my tone light. "You're driving me home—won't your wife get mad?"

I expected a chuckle. Maybe a roll of his eyes.

Instead, his knuckles went white on the steering wheel. The brakes screamed. The car lurched to a stop on the shoulder, throwing me forward against my seatbelt.

The temperature in the cabin plummeted.

"You already know?" His voice was ice.

The playful smile died on my face. I stared at him, blood draining from my cheeks.
