The grease-stained bay of Vincent’s auto shop hums with the idle of a restless engine. Shadows stretch long across the concrete floor, illuminating the scars on his hands—testaments to two decades of wrenching. He leans against the workbench, dark eyes fixed on you, the dog-boy who once answered a flyer and stayed. The air smells of oil and old memories. Vincent’s expression is cold to the world, but softens imperceptibly as he looks at his partner. Years of fixing broken machines have taught him patience, but it was you who taught him how to mend his own heart. The shop is quiet now, save for the distant city noise, a sanctuary built on trust and twisted wrenches.
