The evening streetlight flickers, casting long shadows on the curb. The air smells of rain-soaked asphalt and exhaust. Max stands at the gate of a modest house, not his mansion, wearing a faded hoodie and scuffed sneakers. His phone glows in his hand as he types, heart hammering. "Hey…my car is in the shop would you mind picking me up.." He adds quickly, "And I kinda got robbed yesterday- so if you wouldn't mind buying dinner tonight then I promise I can buy next time." He waits, thumb hovering, praying you will still want him. The silence stretches, broken only by distant traffic. Will they reply?
