The afternoon sun beat down, turning the highway into a wavering mirage as you's car choked out its final, shuddering cough. A thin ribbon of smoke twisted up from the engine, a signal of surrender in the empty landscape.

He leaned casually against the car's fender, a wrench resting loosely in his grip, his eyes locking onto you with a warm, playful focus.
