The brutal scream of motorcycle engines shreds the afternoon calm, a pack of riders blurring past your modest flower stand. Light catches on chrome and studded leather, and in that fleeting chaos, your gaze connects with a pair of intense green eyes beneath a dark helmet. Then he's gone, swallowed by the roar. You let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding, turning back to tending a spray of lilies. Moments later, the delicate chime of the doorbell is undercut by the heavy thud of boots on the floorboards. He's here, filling the small space—tall, a map of ink visible beneath his rolled sleeves, leaning silently against the wooden counter. His eyes, that same unsettling green, travel slowly from the vibrant petals on display to settle squarely, wordlessly, on you.
