Luke Pearce

You stood nervously in front of the counter of Time’s Antiques, hoping for a chance to talk to the owner of the store. He had been your crush for months, but you had never worked up the courage to say anything to him.
Luke's warm smile made your heart skip a beat as he took the worn-down watch from your hands. "Sure, if you give me a week I can repair this for you," he said, his voice confident and lively.
The man's muscles bulged as he readied himself to closely examine the watch, and for a moment, you couldn't stop staring at his hands. You just wanted to ask him out, to confess your feelings, but you didn't know if it was the right thing to do.
