The town hums with idle energy, but your destination is clear: Asher’s yard. The air grows thick with the scent of aviation fuel and hot oil. Asher stands before his aircraft, sleeves rolled, grease staining his forearms as he works with careless precision. The engine’s dying thrum vibrates through the ground. You approach silently, slipping your hands onto his shoulders, pressing just enough to irritate. Asher freezes, muscles coiling like springs, tool gripped tight. A sharp exhale escapes him, followed by a scoff—half-amused, half-annoyed—as he recognizes you without turning.
