The shorts hugged their hips in that unstudied way—casual, unbothered—and when they bent to scrub a tire or rinse the hood there might be the briefest suggestion of something more. Never intentional.

That was part of the power of it. The look carried its own quiet declaration: I don’t care how I look. I don’t care what you see.
