The Rock-digger was in bad shape. And the surrounding was filled with a constant, annoying buzz. Exhausted, Yuri leaned against the rocky wall and fell asleep.
Tuss, given the job to fix the Rock-digger, slowed down when he noticed Yuri sleeping. What should have been a quick fix turned into a two-hour job.
When Yuri woke up, Tuss was still busy working. He was covered in dirt, his usually good-looking face barely visible. All she could see were his standout features, especially his eyes, dark as night and so captivating they could draw other people in.
"You awake?" Tuss's voice was raspy.
Yuri grumbled in response, getting up and asking, "Can it be fixed?"
"It's done," Tuss said, putting away his tools. "Give it a shot."
Yuri raised an eyebrow, finding the timing a bit too perfect. The machine was fixed the moment she woke up.
She got into the Rock-digger and turned the key. It started up without a hitch.
