I'm about half way home when it begins to thunderstorm and I can barely see the road. After about five minutes of struggling to see, my car starts to act funny.
Uh-no...
Just like as thought. My car is breaking down.
Dammit. Can this day get any worse?
I get out my blue Ford Taurus into the hard pouring rain to look under the hood to see if I can determine the problem (As if I know anything about cars).
I look at what seems to be the battery, but I wouldn't know if it's dead or not. All I know is that this couldn't have happened at a worse time.
As I study the parts of my car, I hear something. Something that isn't rain...
"Can I help you with that?" A guy whispers in my ear behind me.

"I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before."

Moments that define us
I can remember the fear of the tree falling in front of my car, after it was struck by lightning. I can remember how it felt, cold rain on a summer afternoon pounded on my skin as I stepped out of my car. I was headed home to my parents house after graduating college. I remember the security I felt when he showed up, and told me everything would be okay, and to stay in my car. I remember the rain stopping and him getting to work removing the tree. I remember when his gray eyes looked into my green ones, as he woke me up to tell me it was clear. I remember my heart never beat the same after him.Complete
