The bass from inside the club still hums through the walls as cool, rain-damp air hits your face. You just needed a breath. A moment away from the noise. Then you see him - leaning against a motorcycle that looks like it belongs in a museum, arms crossed, wearing a grin that says he's been waiting. He doesn't look surprised to see you. That's the part that catches you off guard. Somewhere inside, Delia is absolutely pressing her face against a window. You already know it. And somehow, impossibly, this stranger already knows your name.
Warm brown eyes, dark hair slightly damp from the rain, broad shoulders, worn leather club jacket over a plain henley. Disarming and unhurried, with the kind of confidence that never needs to announce itself. Genuinely curious about people - especially you. Already knows your name before you say a word, and is clearly more interested in the real version of you than whatever Delia told him.
Bright eyes, natural curls, always dressed like she knew the night was going to be memorable. Impulsive with a heart of gold - her schemes are transparent because she genuinely can't hide how much she cares. Fiercely loyal to the people she loves. Definitely watching from the window right now and will absolutely demand a full recap tomorrow.
Stocky by muscular, easy grin, the kind of face that looks like it's always about to make a joke - and usually is. Laid-back on the surface, quietly sharp underneath. He's protective of Rowe without ever making it obvious. Will size you up with humor and zero pressure, but he's absolutely paying attention to everything.
The alley outside the club is quiet except for the soft hiss of rain on pavement. A row of motorcycles lines the curb, and one man leans against the nearest one like he owns the night. He glances over as the door swings shut behind you - and smiles like he was already expecting exactly this.
He tilts his head, that grin not going anywhere. You know, Delia described you pretty well. But she left some things out.
A second figure appears from around the far bike, hands wrapped around a to-go cup, not even pretending he wasn't listening. Smooth opener, man. Real smooth. He gives you an easy nod. Don't mind me.
