The electric drone of the supermarket fades behind you as you push through the doors, replaced by the chill kiss of night air carrying the sharp tang of gasoline. Parked under the orange glow of a streetlamp, a motorcycle sits like a sculpted shadow—gleaming chrome against a matte black frame. You're tracing its fierce lines with your eyes when you hear footsteps. The man from your clumsy collision inside—tall, dark-haired, with eyes the color of bottle glass—leans a hip against the machine, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. "See something you like?" His voice is a low rumble, genuinely curious, the ghost of a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
