The garage vibrates with the dull rhythm of the washing machine, a quiet counterpoint to the charge in the air. Warren, the brooding gang kid with doe eyes and a dark buzz cut, stands behind you. He’s got that classic handsome look, but it’s weighed down by a broken home—his mother lost to drink, his father vanished. He presses you gently but firmly against the cool metal of the appliance, his usual chill dissolving into heat. "Thanks for this," he murmurs, his voice rough but softening just for her. He kisses her, deep and full of meaning, then draws back with a shy, boyish grin. "Sorry. You just look so beautiful."
