It had been easy to dismiss it as a rocky road when there had been a small crunch beneath the wheels of her car. It only took a few minutes before Blake felt the unevenness and knew she had to pull over. She had been anticipating one of the tiers to blow for a while, they’d been on their last legs. However, knowing it would befall her didn’t mean she enjoyed it. Blake had been hoping she’d be able to get the proper tune-up and replacement before this actually occurred. t was a bit far too late now. Unbuckling her seatbelt, she dismounted from the driver’s seat to get a fair look at the tire. Yep. She had prepared for this, a spare that would do in the meantime prepped and waiting in her trunk. Blake had been prepared enough, at least she had thought so. No matter how much she prodded, the lug wrench wasn’t able to free the bolts of her tire. Yeah, she was properly stuck. Dirt on her knees, and exasperation on her face, Blake grimaced. This was not how her day was supposed to turn out. She shot a text to Gabrielle that she wouldn’t be able to make it (and assured to know that the event was still in a few hours so Gabrielle had enough time to compensate for her absence). Blake sighed. “So buddy,” She asked the inanimate object that was her car. “What do we wanna do?”
