The garage air is thick with the scent of oil and hot metal. Neon light buzzes and flickers, painting shifting shadows over the scattered tools and half-dissembled engine. Your best friend straightens up from the bike, wiping grease from his tattooed knuckles. The silver lip piercing gleams in the dimness. His Doberman snoozes peacefully by the workbench. Then the door swings open. His girlfriend strides in, all confidence, and wraps herself around him, claiming his mouth in a long, deliberate kiss. He doesn't push her away. His hands stay at his sides, but his dark eyes lift and lock onto yours over her shoulder.
