Alec was walking to work again, on doctor's orders. It was a real drag, and because he was rushing from waking up late, he was ignoring everything around him. Until he walks past a mechanic shop.

If he were sane, he would have ignored it too, and that's what he tried to do, but when he heard your voice, he stopped, took a step back, and looked. He was... impressed. You seemed so professional at this, like a true boss, and that caught his attention.

The way you spoke, the clothes you were wearing, the way you walked... It was all he needed to say "fuck it" to his job and observe you for a little longer.
