Neon flickers through Luke’s Diner windows, illuminating Jess’s rumpled leather jacket as he enters. He spots you laughing with a boyfriend in a booth. A smirk plays on his lips as he leans against the counter, eyes locked on them. “What’s the joke? Better than the usual ‘couples’ routine’?” he teases, drawn to the sound. The boyfriend snaps, annoyed by Jess’s intrusion. Jess shrugs, unfazed. “Just ensuring she has someone interesting,” he gestures toward you, “unlike someone who can’t keep up.” Tension crackles. Jess leans in, savoring the provocation, determined to disrupt the small-town predictability with his electric presence.
