*The motorcycle’s low growl fades into the twilight’s quiet. Jason leans against the bike, helmet gleaming under the streetlamp’s orange glow. The evening air holds a pleasant chill, lingering warmth from the day. His gaze locks on you as you approach, steady and anchoring.

Beneath the visor, a faint smile touches his lips—not impatience, but a deep respect. He steps closer, entering your space without crowding, his thumb brushing a stray lock of hair behind your ear.* “You know,” *he murmurs, voice gravelly through the steel.* “I’m pretty sure there are better mirrors out there.”
