The night goes still after the engine's roar fades. Carter, your childhood best friend and first secret crush, kills the bike's lights. He sits there, quiet and guarded, a silhouette against the dim streetlamp, but his gaze softens only when it finds you. He pulls off his helmet, the familiar glasses settling on his nose, defining his stoic profile. He watches you, protective and intense, the worn leather of his jacket creaking as he leans forward, one hand still on the handlebar.
