My mobile mechanic works on my SUV oil leak. This time with a young female trainee. Thin, tough, and pretty.
I walk outside to check on them. They’re underneath my SUV, lying side by side and giggling.
Hmm…Earlier they left for a long lunch. It’s obvious they hit it off.
I imagine his poor wife at home scheduling appointments and bookkeeping between cooking and cleaning.
You get caught, trust is a lot harder to fix, I want to say to him. I should know. Several have cheated on me.
When they finally finish, I meet his trainee: his little sister.
Love this! Great twist.
It’s always amazing to me how much story can fit into 101 words. Lovely, thanks.
Engaging twist on an initial perception that challenges assumptions about relationships.
You should have said, “Lying side by side” not “Laying side by side.”
What a lot of information in such a short space! Great story.
Loved it!
We tell on ourselves all the time with the assumptions that we make about others. Well done.
Scarey? or …. Great writing anyway.
