Car Trouble

It started out as any other day. Mary Crawley got up at six thirty in the morning, had her breakfast,and went to work. Mary was the quiet one at her office. She only talked to a select few. The day passed as it usually did, uneventfully. That is until four thirty when Mary went to her car.

" Please start." she kept repeating to herself.

Then a man came up to her. A very handsome man by her standards.

" Would you like a jump?" he asked her.

"Yes, that would be very helpful, thank you." she said looking up at the man.

"It's not a problem." he said as he retrieved the jumper cables from has car, that had been convineintly parked next to her car. "My name is Matthew." he says before geting the jumper cables out of his car.

" I am Mary Crawley." she replies.

"Crawley." he laughed. " Are you Sybil's sister?" Matthew questioned as he hooked up the jumper cables to his car.

" Yes, She is my sister." she replied.

" I believe that we have met before." he said.

" How?" she questioned

" I was your date to the prom." he said

" Matthew?!" she exclaimed in a shocked manner.

she got out of her car and hugged him. he was slightly shocked, but he returned the hug in the end.

He tried to jump the car a few times, but to no avail.

"Do you have roadside assistance?" he questioned.

" No I do not." Mary replied.

" Would you like me to call a tow truck?"

"Yes that would be very helpful. Thank you." Mary replied.

About 40 minutes later the tow truck still had not arrived.

" Would you like to get a cup of coffee with me while we wait for the tow truck?" he questioned.

"I would love to get a cup of coffee with you, Matthew." Mary smiled.

After three hours and three cups of coffee the tow truck finally arrived and took Mary's car to the garage. Matthew took Mary home.

" Thank you for the coffee, company, and ride, Matthew." Mary thanked.

" It was my pleasure. Mary would you like to go to dinner with me on Tuesday?" Matthew replied and questioned.

" Like on a date?" said Mary.

" Yes, Like on a date." confirmed Matthew

"I would love that." smiled Mary.

Matthew's smile mirrored her own. " I'll pick you up at seven." Matthew said.

"Perfect." confirmed Mary.

And they sealed their plans with a kiss.

As Mary closed the door behind her she thought, " It was all because of car trouble."

Little did she know that Matthew was thinking the same thing.
