OOPS
Echo jumped when he hit the steering wheel, startled by such an act of aggression. Echo wasn't a very mean and angry person, and she knew Narcissus had his ugly side... which was pretty much directed toward her all the time. So really, she should have expected him to blow up somehow. It probably would have served them both if they just moved on from whatever there was between them. It wasn't much, and Echo hadn't actively sought him out in years. For her it would have been easy to find someone else to love, but apparently he wasn't having it despite his own hatred for her.
In truth, he had been losing her for a long time. Her taking the steps to start dating proved that. If Echo had been able to call out, she would have warned hi to watch the road. But she had turned her own head to look out the window, feeling very shameful and uncomfortable. She shouldn't have come, she was sure of it. However, when she turned to look ahead she let out a startled gasp. She hated riding in cars in this city.
