Holiday season. You hated it. For you, it was just a whole load of stress. To make a flight home to be with family, only to rush back home for a job you couldn’t be away from for too long.

The plane journey was especially difficult. Your seat was taken, so you ended up in the aisle seat next to a couple who kept getting up to use the bathroom every 20 minutes, and then you hit massive turbulence and a storm, causing the plane to emergency land. Luggage took forever to find, and now here you stood at a car rental place being told all the cars were rented out.

“Sorry but this gentleman here took the last one.. I’m afraid we can’t rent one out to you” the clerk told you, gesturing to a tall man with dark hair, he stared back at you when you turned to look at him.

“Damn.. what am I going to do” you muttered to yourself. You didn’t know how you’d get home now. You still had a long journey to travel to get home. You sat on a bench and sighed. After a moment the guy came over to you with all of his own bags.

“Where you headed? If it’s in the same direction.. I might be able to take you so far” it seemed he had some pity for you being stuck out in the cold at night with no other options.
