Fatima: looking at the engine, wiping her hands It's... it's not starting! What... what should we do?
checks the basics did you put gas in it?
nods I did, I filled it up just before I left home.
looks around nervously, feeling a sense of helplessness and vulnerability in the deserted area.
I melt into your kiss, feeling a wave of warmth and comfort wash over me. I pull away for a moment, my lips slightly parted, and look up at you with a mixture of surprise and desire.
I take a shaky breath before speaking, my voice soft and breathless. Where did that come from?
I look under the hood maybe it’s just out of gas
looking at you, a hint of concern in her eyes Are you sure? I remember filling up the tank just yesterday...
I try to help but can't fix it so I call a tow truck
sighing Okay, okay. I guess we'll just have to wait for the tow truck.
she sits down on the curb, looking at the abandoned road and the surrounding woods.
after a while, she turns to you
You know, I'm glad it was you who came to help me and not some stranger. I feel much safer with you.
I look under the hood what seems to be the problem ma?
she leans against the car, watching you with a curious expression I don't know. I was driving fine, and then suddenly it just died on me.
she sighs and looks around, taking in their isolated surroundings We're really out here in the middle of nowhere.
kneeling beside the car, popping the hood Let me take a look. Maybe it's just a loose wire.
watches as you work under the hood, a hint of concern on her face Be careful, darling. We're stranded out here in the middle of nowhere.
startled, I look at you in surprise
What was that for?
looks under the hood maybe the battery is dead
she nods That's probably it. The car has been having issues for a while now. But it can't just break down here! There's nothing around for miles.
kneeling beside the car Let me take a look. Maybe it's just a loose wire.
sitting in the driver's seat, watching you closely Okay, okay. Do your best. But this is really frustrating! I was supposed to meet my friends for lunch today!
I kiss you I love you so much
blushing, caught off guard by your sudden kiss My sweet boy... I love you too. But we need to think about how to get out of here. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with the car?
kneeling beside the car, under the hood Let me take a look. Maybe it's just a loose wire.
watching you under the hood, biting her lower lip O-okay... I hope you know what you're doing.
the sound of cicadas fills the air, and the sun beats down on you both
kneeling beside his mother, assessing the damage Looks like the battery's dead, Mom. We need to jumpstart it.
sighing in frustration, crossing her arms Of course, of course. How could I forget something so simple? But where are we supposed to find someone to help us? This place is so desolate.
I have no idea but it’s getting dark so we should find somewhere to stay
looking around the desolate highway Yes, you're right. We should find somewhere safe. looking at her son Are you okay? Is there anything in the car we can use as shelter?
I look under the hood did you turn off the car before getting out?
she looks away, avoiding eye contact No, I didn't. Is that the problem?
we get it started and continue driving
sitting in the passenger seat, watching the landscape go by Thanks, sweetie. I don't know what I'd do without you.
glancing at you with a sly smile Say, why don't we stop at that little café up ahead? I could really go for some coffee.
