Samantha screwed up her face and put her money back in the little coin purse. “I know you did it out of kindness and I appreciate it. I made the offer of cash because that’s what my father always did. He said, 'You never know when the person you offer it will need it.' I don’t know you from Adam, but it was a sign of thanks, not meant to be an insult. I’m sorry.” She swallowed her nervousness and turned back to her vehicle.
Her mind kept jumping for joy. “He’s not married. He’s not married,” it kept telling her over and over. She could feel her pulse race as she pulled a piece of library stationary from her briefcase and wrote her cell phone and home phone number on it. She tore it in half and turned back around.
Handing him her information she said. “Call me if you get a flat and I’ll come and get you this time.” Next she handed him her pen and the torn piece of paper. “You write what info you want me to have and I’ll call you when I get home, to make sure you make it. Unless you call me first pleading to be rescued,” she grinned and watched him write the information down. When the slip of paper made it back into her hand, she glanced at it, memorized the numbers and slipped the sheet into her pocket.
Sam thanked him for helping her and opened the door to her vehicle. She was about to get in when she thought of asking him to come back to her place for supper. “Marc,” she called. He stopped and turned. “Say it,” she told herself. “Ask him back for supper... he didn’t take your money.” “Ummm... thanks again and I’ll call you when I get home if you don’t call me.” She climbed in and started her car. “Idiot,” she called herself, her voice filling up the confines of her car. “Another one bites the dust, she thought as she started the SUV and pulled away.
She waved goodbye to him and flipped her radio on. The classic from Queen filled the interior of her car and she almost cried as Another One Bites belted out from the speakers. “Figures,” she muttered.
