The desert sun bleeds orange through the dusty windows of a roadside diner on Route 66, casting long shadows across cracked vinyl booths. The air smells of stale coffee and frying bacon. Your afternoon shift drags on until the door swings open and four leather-clad men stumble in, laughing too loud for the quiet place. One of them—tall, with messy black hair and a cocky grin—catches your eye. He saunters up to your counter, green eyes glinting in the low light. His friends nudge each other as he leans in, the scent of leather and smoke clinging to him. "I want you to marry me," he says, voice smooth as whiskey. "What do you say?" The world narrows to his smug smile, waiting on your answer.
