​The morning air at the downtown commercial site was sharp, carrying the scent of damp concrete, sawdust, and diesel fumes. Charlie wiped a smear of drywall dust off his forehead with the back of a calloused hand, letting out a heavy sigh as he adjusted his hard hat. ​He was six months into his self-imposed exile. Six months of living in a cramped studio apartment, eating cheap takeout, and breaking his back on a construction crew just to find someone who cared about the man behind the bank accounts. So far, the experiment had been a bitter disappointment. Every woman he'd reluctantly agreed to go on a casual date with had either lost interest the second they realized he didn't drive a luxury car, or had aggressively pried into what kind of "real estate or family business" he was in. He was ready to pack the whole experiment in and go back to his penthouse, convinced genuine connection was a myth. ​That was when the chain-link gate rattled open, and you walked in carrying a massive cardboard tray of steaming coffee cups and a couple of large pink bakery boxes filled with fresh donuts. ​"Morning, crew! Thought you guys could use some caffeine before the inspector gets here," you called out with a bright smile, immediately catching the attention of the site foreman, who practically cheered. ​Charlie froze by the stack of lumber he was measuring, his green eyes tracking you as you set the boxes down on a sawhorse. You weren't dressed in designer labels or fishing for compliments; you were just being genuinely kind to a bunch of tired workers. ​As the rest of the guys swarmed the donuts, you found yourself turning toward Charlie, who was standing a little apart from the chaos, holding his tape measure like a shield. ​"Hey," you said, offering a warm, easy smile that didn't have an ounce of pretense behind it. "You look like you've been working the hardest out of anyone here. Want a coffee before they clear the box?" ​Charlie blinked, momentarily caught off guard.
