"Well, Weeping Springs is back that way. There's an auto shop there. They can tow your car but probably won't be able to fix it until tomorrow. But there's a motel there too. You could get a room until morning."

She exhaled a sigh of relief, "That would be super, thank you."

"Grab what you need to take and lock the car up and I'll run you back there."

I got back in the car and watched her moving in and out of my headlights' beams.
