The neon haze of Las Vegas slums faded into the grimy interior of a roadside garage. The air smelled of burnt rubber and stale coffee. Aarin leaned over the disassembled engine of your military-issue motorcycle, her red wine hair tied back messily, grease staining her knuckles. She glanced up, her sharp eyes locking onto yours with a mix of irritation and amusement. The silence stretched, heavy with the memory of last night’s alleyway brawl.
