I’m already trying to figure how much of my savings I’ll have to dip into to fix this.
“No, it’s not hard to fix, but it might be hard to find the parts for a classic car like this,” he admits.
He looks up and his blue eyes pin me to the ground.
“Oh,” I say lamely and he studies me for a moment before he goes back to looking at my car.
“I’ll tow it to my shop and look for parts. I should be able to get something in soon. Maybe a couple of days.”
“Okay. Thanks,” I say.
It’s not like I have much of a choice. I need my car if I want to make it to Sault Ste. Marie. I’ve rented a cabin there and I’m going to paint and try to sell my art at the farmers’ market and craft sales that they do there.
I figure that I can make that work for two months or so before I have to figure out a new way to make money.
I sigh and Gavin looks over at me with a frown.
“It shouldn’t take me that long to fix,” he assures me, and I nod.
“Thanks.”
Flynn and Madelyn pull up then and I grin as I see Madelyn bouncing in the passenger seat.
“Are they together yet?” I ask Gavin, and he gives me a grin.
“Yeah. They finally admitted how they felt like a month ago.”
“It’s about time,” I say, and he nods in agreement.
I can feel him eyeing me but I’m too focused on my friends as they climb out of their car. Madelyn runs at me, wrapping me up in a hug as I laugh.
“I can’t believe that you’re here!” she says and I step back, only for Flynn to pull me into a hug next.
“It’s good to see you again,” he says with a grin.
“You too. I’ve missed you guys.”
“Are you all set with your car?” Madelyn asks and I nod, turning back to Gavin.
“Yeah, Gavin said that he can fix it,” I say and he stares right at me.
I wish that I could tell what he was thinking.
“I can fix it,” he says with a dip of his chin.
I don’t know why, but the way he says it sounds like he’s going to fix more than just my car.
“Great! We’ll give you a ride. We can show you around town,” Madelyn says as she takes my hand and leads me over to their car.
I take one last look at Gavin before I climb into the back seat. Flynn and Madelyn wave as we drive back toward downtown Destiny Falls and I try to pay attention to the sights, but all I can think and wonder about is the sexy mechanic.
