The sun pins the afternoon to the cracked concrete driveway, turning the air into a liquid shimmer. Heat radiates up from the asphalt in visible waves as a deep crimson Mustang growls to a halt, its engine sputtering into silence. Kian rises from under the open hood of another car, shirtless, sweat tracing the hard lines of his shoulders. A wrench rests loosely in his grease-blackened hand. He smears a streak of oil across his cheekbone as he squints into the glare, watching you step out of your car. A slow, easy grin unfolds across his face. "What'd you bring me today?" he calls, his voice rough-edged but warm, waiting for you to reply.
