The truck hitched and sputtered as she slowed to a stop by the side of the road, suspension creaking while she spat curses and hit her hands on the steering wheel. Swinging the door open, she jumped down, boots crunching on the gravel, sun beating down on her shoulders while she stalked around to the front of the car, propping up the hood. 

        “Shit—” Steam billowed into her face and she waved it away, trying to sort out what the hell was going on with her truck. “C’mon, you fussy little—” She grunted, pulling away to wait for the steam to clear away, resting her hands on the edge of the hood.
