(I'm just playing the character and the rolls - if you want an opening, create one  )

Grant smiled and kicked his bike to life before he handed Selene a helmet and patted the seat behind him.

"Sure, I suppose I could give you a ride," he responded,"Where you looking to go to?"

There was a moment before he spoke where he seemed nonplussed about the comment about Selene's brother but he seemed to shake it off. By now the sun was well and truly setting, painting the parking lot in vivid reds, yellows, and oranges.

(I’m just interested in seeing how this plays out. Rest assured, we’ll be following em 😏)

She hadn't been thinking that far ahead but it didn't seem unlikely that Grant wouldn't have a place to rest his head, so to speak. Selene shrugged, aiming for more confident than she felt at the moment. "I figured that anywhere would be better than a diner in the middle of nowhere."

Seeing Selene get in the car, Cecilia grumbled and got in her own before getting ready to follow them at a relatively leisurely pace. She wasn't the best driver, but she could at least follow someone on an empty road.

Charlie would ask for his check and pay for what he bought, walking out of the diner a moment later. He waited for Selene and their mark to take her down the road before he gently tapped on Cecilia’s window. ”She’ll be fine.” he said with a reassuring smile crossing his face. ”Nervous?”

"More for the drive than the violence. Not sure what that says about me," she said, a nervous smile on her face. She put the car in drive and unlocked the door for Charlie to get in.

That made him chuckle as he glanced at his bike for a moment, but shrugged as he got into the car. ”I wouldn’t be too hung up over it. People feel anxiety for all kinds of reasons. Let’s get going, yeah?”

Cecilia nodded and put the car in drive.

(Not sure if there's more dialogue here, or should we skip to the next bit?)
