Abide With Me
“The Jeep died a block after they got back underway again. The engine just stopped and they coasted silently back to the side of the road. After thirty minutes, he finally gave up trying to find the problem. By midnight, a sleepy road-service attendant arrived to tow the Jeep to a local garage.
When the tow truck disappeared around a corner, Bill shoved his hands into his pockets and looked up at the sky. Andrea waited, more tired than annoyed, and followed his gaze. “Looking through the Angel’s... Window? I think there’s a Do Not Disturb sign. See it?”
He chuckled and shook his head. “I’m sorry. If I had known that the Jeep was a disaster waiting to happen, I never would have borrowed it.” He turned and looked down the road. “I think there’s a motel back a ways. It’s off season, so it shouldn’t be a problem for us to get a couple of rooms for the night. Unless you know somewhere we could rent a car? I know you’ve got to be at work in the morning.”
“Even if there was a car-rental agency, which there isn’t, it wouldn’t be open this late.”MoreLess
