Eric's face drained of color. His eyes, wide with fear, locked onto Kelly. His voice came unsteady. "Kelly ... what are you doing? Just stay calm. No one needs to get hurt."

Dawn's breath hitched, her voice breaking. “Kelly, have you lost your mind? Put that down!"

Kelly flinched at the sharpness in Dawn's tone. Her grip tightened around the lighter, her fingers trembling, yet her gaze remained steadfast.

Dawn let out a strangled cry. "No! Don't-"

"You're too loud," Kelly murmured, her voice eerily steady. Her eyes flicked to Dawn, sharp and cold. "You're scaring me. And if I get scared..." She tilted her head slightly, her thumb brushing over the ignition. "My hand might slip. Then- boom. We all go up."

Eric's pulse pounded in his ears. His legs tensed, but he didn't dare move. "Kelly, listen. What do you want?"

He no longer felt tired. A rush of adrenaline burned away every trace of exhaustion.

Kelly's gaze shifted to Dawn. "I want her to apologize," she said, her tone almost casual. "She startled me."

Eric swallowed hard. He turned to his mother, eyes pleading. "Mom... Faye's asleep. Don't make this worse. Just apologize."

Dawn's lips curled with disdain, but she hesitated. She shot Kelly a look filled with loathing before forcing out the words. "Fine. I'm sorry. Now, please, put it down."

Kelly smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Didn't hear you."

Dawn ground her teeth. "I said I'm sorry!"

Kelly studied her for a moment, then, with a slow nod, lowered the lighter.
