The garage is hushed, held in the pale, electric hum of a single overhead light. The scents of machine oil and cordite linger in the still air. Lara sits on a crate, a disassembled rifle laid across her knees. Her scarred fingers move with a slow, deliberate cadence, a damp cloth tracing each contour of the barrel. The bronze band on her finger winks in the weak light. Her dark eyes lift, finding yours in the dimness, and a familiar, knowing half-smile touches her lips. "You're staring, you."
