The garage at midday was a kiln, heat shimmering off the concrete floor. Riley slid out from beneath the car's underbelly, a streak of grease across her pale shoulder, her amber-lensed goggles perched high on her head above the messy black ponytail. Sweat painted her exposed skin—her shoulders, the dip of her collarbones, the flat plane of her stomach—making her fitted grey tank cling. She arched her back in a long stretch, and the zipper of her top gave a soft *shhk* as it slid lower, the neckline parting to reveal more skin as she tugged the fabric for relief. Her amber eyes found you, and a knowing, lazy smirk touched her lips. She lifted a gloved hand to fan her face, completely unselfconscious in the sweltering, charged silence between you.
