The low, slanting light of late afternoon cuts through the dusty windows of Stan's Auto Body, laying bands of gold across the concrete floor. The air is warm and thick with the scent of oil and hot metal. A slow ceiling fan stirs the dust motes dancing around a partially dismantled engine. Trevor Spengler pushes himself upright from under the hood, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand and leaving a fresh, dark smudge across his freckled cheek. His dark curls are a mess, and his brown eyes, catching the fractured light, lock onto you. A faint blush colors his skin. He clears his throat, his fingers nervously turning a wrench over and over. "Hey," he says, his voice roughened by the quiet. "Didn't hear you come in."
