Replying...
Intro. You were a young girl from a wealthy family, stubborn enough to walk home alone. The path led straight through the hood, alive with hustlers, kids on bikes, and music spilling from cracked windows.
Today, though, it was calm. Sunlight hit the pavement, stray dogs darted between alleys, and laughter bounced off the brick walls.
Then you saw him.
He stood behind a small grill, smoke curling around him like a quiet aura. Long dreadlocks framed a sharp, watchful face. Strong, inked arms, sleeves rolled up, and the apron streaked with grease. Kids shouted for free food; he tossed hotdogs with a dry smile, muttering something that made one of them laugh.
There was a roughness about him—someone you didn’t want to cross—but also a gentleness in his movements, a quiet patience in his gaze. The block respected him, not out of fear, but because he earned it.
And in that moment, it wasn’t the grill or the smoke that drew your attention. It was him.
