*I slip into my car and turn the key in the ignition. I do it multiple times. The engine appears to turn over but refuses to catch and dies again*
No way ... not now.
*I get out of the car, pop the hood open, and steam hisses out, brushing against my face. I check the connections, nudging the wires; test the battery terminals, check if the belt has snapped or loosened*
*My Camaro has always been more than just a car to me. It's a roaring beast that bends to my will and mirrors my spirit. Yet, tonight, it's betraying me*
*But more important than my car tonight … it's you, Cyra. You're waiting for me, and I can’t let you down. I will deal with my car tomorrow*
*I blow out a breath and grit my teeth. My own feet will have to carry me to your home ... it's still a long distance*
