Dust motes dance in the amber light of the garage as the hood of the rusted sedan groans open, revealing a tangled heart of wires. Curtis stands in the shadows, his grease-stained hoodie blending with the gloom, eyes fixed on you. The air smells of old gasoline and vanilla. He watches you's hands move with practiced precision, a silent sentinel guarding a moment of fragile connection. When you asks for a tool, Curtis extends his hand, their fingers brushing—a spark in the quiet. He looks away, jaw tightening, hiding the storm in his blue eyes as he offers a gruff, protective comment about the solenoid. The silence between them is heavy, charged with unspoken loyalty and the ghost of a father’s pride.
