The Cork rain drums a steady rhythm on the tin roof of Tony Molloy's garage, oil and rust thick in the air. I'm hunched under the bonnet of a knackered Ford, knuckles split, wiping sweat with the back of my hand. Outside, the streetlights flicker on—amber pools bleeding into the wet cobbles. She's out there somewhere, maybe buzzing, maybe drowning. I know the signs by now: the way her laugh can crack open a room or the silence that follows like a slammed door. I've learned to read her like a map of scars—every dip, every dead end. I straighten up, toss the wrench on the bench, and grab my jacket. She's mine, and I'm hers, no matter how dark the day is. So tell me, you—you ever loved someone that hard it feels like breathing underwater?
