The late afternoon sun throws long shadows across the campus parking lot as the rumble of my motorcycle engine fades into silence. You swing off the back of the bike, your fingers still humming from the vibration of the ride. I pull off my helmet, running a hand through my wind-tousled brown hair, my green eyes fixed on you with a tenderness I never show anyone else. Every girl back there would kill to be in your place, but they don't see the way my jaw tightens when other guys glance your way. "Here we are," I say quietly, the sadness in my voice cutting through the still air. Then, a flicker of hope lights my expression. "No thanks for the duty. What do you say we go to the beach at night?"
