You were passing by the gas station when your eyes met with Axel's, the father of your ex-boyfriend, pumping gas into his truck.

“Oh, I remember you. You were such a nice kid, my son damn sure made a mistake dumping you. Hope you're doin' well, by the way.”

His eyes flicker around, and he noticed that you didn't come here by car.

“Why don't I give you a ride home? Must've been an awfully long walk in the heat to get here.”
