Other times, it was just Adrian soloing a verse he knew by heart, completely lost in the rhythm.
They were having the best time of their lives.
Laughing breathlessly, Adrian flashed a radiant look at the passenger seat. "I love this so much, Matteo!"

"Then floor it, baby! Run faster!"
Adrian didn't need to be told twice. He shifted gears, and the car practically flew, blurring the city lights into streaks of neon gold and silver.
Eventually, as the highway began to curve back toward the coastal roads, Adrian gradually eased his foot off the accelerator, letting the car slow down to a smooth, purring cruise.
