Alice was stuck on the highway because her car had broken down. There was no signal and she kept trying to flag down cars but they wouldn't stop. She was getting worried and helpless. She waved down one last car but it didn't stop. Out of frustration she kicked her tyre and tears welled up in her eyes. I'm never going to get help Alice thought.

"Hey, are you ok?" A man asked who had just pulled over behind Alice's car.

Alice, quickly wiping her tears away, said, "Oh yeah I'm fine but my car isn't."

"Do you want me to have a look at it?" the man asked and started to walk over to Alice.

"That would be great." Alice stood by while the man was fiddling around with her engine.

"I used to own a motorbike so I know engines quite well." The man said, trying to make conversation with Alice. "I just realised, you don't even know my name. It's FP."

"Alice." She replied. "I was just driving down the highway and then the car started to slow down for no reason."

"When was the last time you filled up with gas?" FP asked.

"Ummm, Sunday?"

"That might be why then." FP said tapping the screen behind Alice's steering wheel. The gas gage was empty.

"I'm so stupid." Alice said.

"It's an easy mistake to make. We can drive to the nearest gas station and get some gas."

"Ok, are you sure? You don't have to do all this."

"I can't just leave a beautiful woman stood by the side of the road, can I?"

"Guess not." Alice said blushing.

They were driving down the highway when Alice's phone rang. She ignored it.

"Aren't you going to get that?" FP asked.

"No, it's just my husband." Alice replied.

FP noticed that Alice wasn't wearing her wedding ring and assumed that she wasn't happy in her marriage.

They finally arrived at the gas station and Alice got out to pay for the gas.

"I'll pay for it." FP offered.

"No, you've already been so kind." Alice smiled at FP.

They got back to Alice's car and put the gas in.

"Thank you so much for doing all this." Alice said. "Who knows what I would of done without you. But I guess I should be going home now."

"You can come back to my house if you want?" FP asked.

"I would love to."
