Linda kept her hands steady on the steering wheel as we drove down the winding road, but I could feel her muscles tense beneath her calm facade. The forest outside was growing darker, the sun dipping low behind the trees, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt.My hand rested gently on my belly. The pup kicked once, a flutter, like a reminder. I was still safe. Still alive. And for a moment, everything was fine.Until the road ahead filled with bodies.Linda slammed the brakes. The car skidded slightly, tires scraping gravel as we came to a hard stop. I didn’t need to smell the shift in the air to know who they were. I knew the stance. The arrogance.
