Cate stepped out of the gym to the parking lot and moaned. Her back tire sat flat against the ground. "Oh, sheets!" She tossed her gym bag across the asphalt. "Now what?" A tear welled in her eye. It was times like this that she missed her dad more than usual.

"Looks like you've got a bit of a problem. Let me give you a hand."

Cate turned to find Dylan-of-the-gym right behind her. He'd crept upon her without making a sound. Oh God, did he see me having my tantrum? She tried to be nonchalant as she walked across the lot to retrieve her bag.

He squatted next to the tire. "There's a nail in the sidewall. You got a spare?"

"Yes, but I have no idea how to change a tire."

"Don't you worry. The cavalry has arrived."
