Chapitre 51: Chapter 51: It's Familiar in the Worst (Best) Ways

<p>Ella</p>

<p>"Oh Carl, please don't worry about it, it's fine." I try to reassure Carl I'm not mad, but it really is an unfortunate mistake.</p>

<p>None of the wheels have popped or blown on the road; instead, the car battery has given out and drained the power, making it unable to run even with a full tank of gas.</p>

<p>Someone left a light on, or something hasn't been turned off so now we are out here, in the middle of the countryside, a bit too far away from the towns to walk, let alone be willing to.</p>

<p>That's why I am calling for a tow truck.</p>

<p>"—yes, that's right, the long stretch on route 32. We've pulled to the side—two hours? Mhm, yes, tonight is just a night for accidents it seems. Yes, we're willing to wait. Alright, yes this number would be perfectly fine to call if you need to get into contact with us. Thank you."</p>

<p>I sigh softly as I hang up. Seems we aren't the only ones who had car trouble tonight, though ours was less severe.</p>
