Summary
“Run away with me,” Janus Hunag says, tossing Roman a motorcycle helmet.
It’s nearly dark, the sky dripping with ruby red and shimmering gold. Janus, with his mismatched eyes and leather jacket and snakebite piercings, is a spot of darkness, framed against the richness of the bejeweled sky. They won’t get anywhere before night creeps in. They’re barely adults, broke and irresponsible and tied down with so many lashes to this place they both grew up in.
“Alright,” Roman says. “Let’s go.”
