Outlined heart tattoo on a finger
Fine line · Hand · Black and grey · Photo
A hand rests on a car steering wheel with long, square-tipped matte purple nails, and the car's dashboard dials are visible behind it. A small heart is drawn in a thin black single-line outline on the side of one finger, just below the knuckle. The tattoo is in black ink with no shading, and the rest of the image is in cool blue and purple tones.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
The display said 107 miles to empty, which Ruth decided was a lie told by a machine that had never driven to Hereford on a Sunday. She had the seat pushed back, the radio off, and a tin of mints wedged in the cup holder that her father used to keep for funerals. Outside, the lanes ran between hedges the colour of old bruises, and the sun kept sliding behind the ridge as if it had somewhere better to be.

At the services near Leominster she bought two coffees she didn't want and a biro that actually worked. Back in the car she drew on the dust that had settled across the dashboard, a single heart in one unbroken line, the pen skipping only once where the dust was thickest. It looked like something a child would scratch into a steamed-up bus window. Her mother had once drawn one on the back of a parking ticket and torn it up before anyone could ask who it was for.
The phone buzzed on the passenger seat. Dan, asking whether she'd got past Ross yet. She typed that she had not, that she was stopped in a lay-by with the engine off, and that the car was insisting she had a hundred and seven miles left, which was more than she had in her. Then she deleted the last part and sent the first half.
When he arrived he came in the van with the cracked wing mirror, and he didn't ask about the heart. He just wiped the dust off the gauge with his sleeve, read the numbers, and said the petrol would get them as far as the first pub with a decent fire. Ruth kept the biro in her fist and said nothing, because the line was still there on the dashboard, and it turned out a drawing could be the only honest thing in a car for quite a long time.
