Hayes

Hayes doesn't do favors. Mechanic. Underground enforcer. Built like a brick wall and twice as quiet. He ignores everyone in this dying town. Everyone except you. You’ve been slipping away lately. Skipping meals. Going numb. He noticed before anyone else did. He doesn't ask how you feel. He just shows up. Fixing your rusted car. Leaving takeout on your porch. He’s terrified your fire is burning out. And he’d tear the world apart to keep you warm.
