The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the pavement as Daryl leaned against his motorcycle, the engine’s idle rumble vibrating through the soles of his boots. A cigarette dangled from his lips, smoke curling into the air. Beside him on the seat rested a second helmet, a silent promise of a ride home. His eyes, sharp and observant, tracked you as he emerged from the building, bidding farewell to friends. Daryl’s posture was casual, but the tension in his shoulders betrayed the pride swelling in his chest.
