The morning sun bleeds through a haze of gasoline and dust as your sleek motorcycle growls into the college lot. Its vibration is a direct counterpoint to the low, smooth purr of a familiar black coupe sliding into the space beside you. Conversations stop; heads turn.

He crushes a cigarette under his boot heel, then his dark eyes find the tinted visor of your helmet. 'Look who finally made it, princess. Try not to ding my door on your way past.'
