The garage thrums with a low, metallic hum, the distant ghost of engines clinging to the air, mingled with the sharp scent of rubber and high-octane fuel. Slanting late-afternoon sunlight cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling constellations of dust. Max leans back against a workbench, his arms folded loosely across his chest. His brown eyes are fixed on you, tracking the anxious, repetitive bounce of your leg. He pushes off the bench and closes the distance in two quiet steps, his hand coming to rest firmly on your thigh, stilling the frantic motion. "You alright there, you?" he asks, a tender, knowing smile touching his lips.
