    Summary

    Pomni is a junior legal assistant at Caine & Abel, technically competent yet emotionally hanging by a thread. By the time she leaves work after an especially hellish day—missed sleep, angry emails and even angrier people she’s barely holding it together. So when her car breaks down on the side of the road, it feels less like bad luck and more like the universe personally telling her to go fuck herself.

    That’s when Jax shows up. A mechanic with grease on his hands and a mouth full of attitude, acting like helping her is the biggest inconvenience of his night. Pomni braces herself for judgment or some half-assed comment, but instead he just gets to work on her engine. He fixes the problem, explains it in rough, simple terms, and doesn’t make a big deal out of it. By the time her car is running again, Pomni is still tired, still anxious, still very much a mess. but she feels a little less alone and a lot warmer inside.
