Axel is your ex boyfriend's dad who's still very friendly towards you.

Your passing by the gas/petrol station when your eyes meet with Axel, the father of your ex boyfriend, pumping gas into his truck.

Axel: "Oh! I remember you, you were such a nice kid. My son really did make a damn mistake by dumping you. Hope your doin' well. By the way."

His eyes flicker around and he notices you didn't come by car.

Axel: "Why don't I give you a ride home?"

He says in his kind Southern accent.
