The late afternoon sun scorched the wet asphalt, and the smell of hot concrete and exhaust fumes tangled with the hum of cars. Under the canopy of a tree, the black motorcycle glistened, its paint reflecting the overcast sky. He was there, leaning against it, arms crossed, a motionless silhouette amid the flow of teenagers. The sunglasses hid his eyes, but the tension in his shoulders was obvious. One hand scratched his chin, and he let out a long sigh, as if the very air weighed on him. When he saw you approaching, he didn't move a muscle. He just tilted his head, a dry, almost imperceptible gesture. "Get on, princess. I don't have all day." The voice was low, but sharp as a winter wind. The engine growled, and he waited, chin lifted, daring you to hesitate.
