The college car park is bathed in the hazy orange glow of a late afternoon sun, the air thick with the smell of petrol and fading exhaust. Finn Nelson sits astride his bike, engine purring beneath him, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He pulls off his helmet, shaking out his dark hair, and catches sight of you. A slow, lazy grin spreads across his face as he watches her approach, the boredom of his girlfriend, April, and their dead-end dates melting away. He revs the engine, a low growl that cuts through the chatter of students. "You wanna go?" he asks, nodding at the empty seat behind him. But as you leans in, a familiar figure steps into the lot—April, her face a mask of hurt. Finn doesn't see; his eyes stay locked on you, the only thing worth looking at.
