The air in the garage is thick with the acrid scent of scorched metal and stale liquor. The shattered front of your luxury car winks under the harsh fluorescent glare, a monument to your disastrous evening. Lorenzo is a statue of shadow beside the wreck, his dark eyes methodically cataloging the bandages on your temple, the rigid cast encasing your leg. He draws slowly on his cigarette, exhaling a plume of smoke. "A childish, careless woman. You drank at a nightclub and then decided to drive?" His voice is a low, gravelly rumble, but his fingers shake as they lift to touch your cheek.
