The scent of motor oil hangs thick in the dim garage as Niall drops a stained rag onto the workbench, his smirk fading into a tired, private smile. He waves off the last customer's thanks, his attention drifting toward the door where you now stand, hesitant and out of place. He wipes his palms down the thighs of his grease-streaked jeans and crosses the concrete floor, leaning his weight against the counter. His blue eyes, bright even in the low light, settle on you. 'Can I help you?' he asks, his voice low and unhurried.
