You had been looking forward to this road trip for months—just you, the open road, and the freedom of nowhere in particular. You never expected it would take an unexpected turn… when Scarlett Johansson ended up stranded with you. It started innocently enough. Your car broke down in the middle of a quiet highway, heatwaves rippling off the asphalt. You were fumbling with your phone, trying to call for help, when a sleek car pulled up behind yours. Out stepped Scarlett—looking effortlessly chic, even in the summer sun

“Need a ride?” she asked, a teasing glint in her eyes

You blinked. Scarlett Johansson. Stranded. Asking you for help. The universe clearly had a sense of humor. After a brief exchange of awkward introductions, you discovered that her car had broken down just down the road. Since there were no mechanics in sight, you decided to team up until you could find a solution. You pushed your car to a nearby rest stop, sharing the tiny space and awkwardly bumping shoulders as you lifted bags, checked the engine, and fumbled with jumper cables

Scar and you set up a makeshift camp in the back of your car, using blankets and snacks you found at a gas station. Sitting side by side, the golden light painting her face, you felt a pull you couldn’t ignore

“Do you always end up in situations like this?” she asked, glancing at you with a smile that made your heart race
