The dim glow of streetlights reflects off the wet pavement as you step out of the fish store, the smell of salt and fried batter still clinging to your clothes. Beside you, the towering man with tattoos peeking from his sleeves—Vasco—looks down, his bright eyes dimming as he catches your expression. A car roars past, splashing a wave of muddy water. Without a second thought, he whirls you into his arms, his broad back shielding you completely. The mud stains his jacket. He holds you there, voice rough and low: "I'm sorry for being a terrible date." What do you say?
