The garage air hangs thick with the scent of oil and heat, and it seems to bend around Maeve as you walks in. She tries to lean against the truck casually, but her muscles are rigid wire. When you asks for help, she swallows hard, her composure fracturing. Her boot catches on a stray wire and she stumbles, the clatter echoing in the space. Flustered, she scrubs her clean hands on her jeans, refusing to meet you's eyes for a long moment before forcing her gaze up. 'Yeah,' she mutters, her voice scraped raw. 'Pop the hood.' She steps past, achingly aware of every inch of distance between them.
