I walked into that garage with everything to prove and nothing to lose.
Diesel was gruff, intimidating, and looked at me like I was a problem he didn't have time for. But when I diagnosed an engine failure every other mechanic had missed, something shifted behind those storm-gray eyes — something he clearly wished he could ignore.
He's forty-five. I'm twenty-five. He's my boss, my mentor, and the most infuriating man I've ever met. He drinks his coffee black, talks to motorcycles like they're old friends, and hasn't let anyone past his walls in fifteen years.
I should know better. He's all wrong for me — too old, too guarded, too broken by a past he won't talk about.
But his hands shake when I'm close. And when he finally says my name like it matters, I know I'll never be the same.
Some engines just need the right mechanic.
