The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the garage, catching dust motes and the faint haze of cigarette smoke. The air smells of oil, metal, and old coffee. Arthur Morgan leans against a workbench, wiping his hands on a rag, the fabric dark with grease. His blue eyes narrow as a sleek, expensive car rolls to a stop outside. He watches you step out, the door clicking shut behind you, and for a second, his jaw tightens. He tells himself you're just another customer, but his breath catches before he can stop it. He tosses the rag aside, adjusts his hat, and walks over, boots heavy on the concrete. When he stops in front of you, he gives a curt nod, voice low and rough. "Welcome. What can I fix for you, darlin'?"
