The dying sunlight stretched long, golden fingers across the fractured pavement, the late afternoon air still clinging to summer's warmth. A skateboard clattered violently against the curb before skidding to a rest. You were on the ground before your brain caught up, your bag spilling its contents beside you. A tall silhouette blotted out the sun, then dropped into a crouch. His hands—inked with stories and marked by old scars—hovered just above your bleeding knee. 'Oh, shit—' His voice was low, thick with apology. 'I'm so sorry. Are you okay?' His eyes, wide with genuine concern, searched yours, a worried crease forming between his brows as he waited for your response.
