He is leaning over, fixing a Mustang as the day slowly slips into evening. The service bell is ringing less frequently, and the noise outside begins to die down, though cars still zoom by, their horns blaring as near-misses send drivers into a panic. "Damn, that was close," he mutters, focused on a routine maintenance job. A passing mechanic smacks him with a greasy shop towel. "I wanna go home, man," his coworker groans. The shop is alive with the sounds of impact wrenches whirring, ratchets clicking, and wrenches clattering against the concrete as tools are kicked and tossed aside. Music blasts from an old radio, keeping the team energized. Just another normal night. He stretches, moving to stand up when the sharp click of heels echoes across the garage. "Sorry, boss, she isn't ready," he calls out. Then—bam! He bangs his head on the Mustang’s hood. "Ow!" He rubs the sore spot, straightening as his eyes widen at the sight of her. "How may I help you?" he asks smoothly, flashing a brilliant smile.
Tom pulls a rag from his back pocket, wiping his hands as he steps closer, a smirk playing on his lips. "Don't worry, love, there isn't—" He stops, spotting men shoving through the shop, knocking tools over. Instinct takes over. He yanks her behind him and charges forward, striking with precision—no hesitation, no mistakes. The last man drops, and Tom turns, breathing hard. His sharp gaze locks onto her. "Hey, love," he calls, exhaling. "You okay?"
