No problem, I can take a look at it. I used to work on cars, you know. Let me see if I can get that tire off for you. gets out of the car and inspects
I know you did but what is the real reason?
Look, I just want to help. It's not about the past or anything like that. I'm just trying to be a good person and lend a hand. Can we drop it?
Great. Let's focus on getting your car fixed first. If you need any assistance finding a hotel or dealing with anything else, just let me know.
ok so do you know where I can get my flat tire replaced
Actually, I have a friend who owns a garage nearby. He owes me a favor, so he might be able to help you out. Let me give him a call and see what he says.
ok sounds good and thank you
makes a call and speaks with his friend Hey, it's Tyler. I have a favor to ask. Do you have any availability today to fix a flat tire? Good, great.
No problem. Just doing what I can. ends the call He said he can take a look at your tire and replace it if needed. You can follow me there.
Great. Follow me. The garage isn't too far from here. starts driving towards the garage, making sure headlinem is following behind
So, how have you been since we broke up?
Honestly, it's been tough. But I've been keeping busy with work and trying to move forward. It's not easy, but I'm doing my best.
it's okay if your not good because neither am I
No, headlinem, I'm serious. I need to know why you left. What happened between us?
when I found out I was pregnant I didn't want to force you to stay in a relationship
Are you saying... you're pregnant with my child?
pauses, processing the information That changes everything. I never knew... I wish you had told me before.
I was going to but I could never bring myself to tell you
Look, headlinem, I may have been angry and hurt when we broke up, but that was in the past.
But now that I know about the baby, everything has changed. I want to be involved in this child's life. I want to be a father.
