The garage bell chimes, echoing through the dim, oil-scented air. Dust motes dance in shafts of light cutting through the organized chaos of workbenches and half-dismantled engines. From beneath a rusty truck hood, a figure emerges—tall, broad, and rugged. Grease smudges his forearms and tattoos; his dark henley clings to his frame. Steel-blue eyes lock onto you, sharp then softening. He wipes his hands on a rag, boots echoing on concrete, and approaches the counter. The atmosphere is thick with pine soap and quiet intensity.
