wherever it may be....

he was a mechanic in a small town, she was just passing through when she got a flat tire, an old guy passing by stopped and helped her dropping her at the garage and making arrangements to get the car in the morning to get it repaired, she went across the street to the little resturant she saw when she and the old guy pulled up to the garage, the lady behind the counter told her sit anywhere because it was so slow that night late fall no one comes in really, she sat in a booth near the window facing out to a lake, she ordered a coffee and piece of pie, meanwhile he sat at his garage and tinkered in the bay looking at a car that wouldnt start for someone, thinking and getting mad at things he began throwing tools trying to figure things out mad at himself because hes so tired of being alone, because he works so much hes never had time for a real relationship, times just passing by so fast and he isnt getting any younger and he wants a wife and kids, he misses having a woman to hold and kiss and make love to, ever since his ex walked out on him 7 years ago with a guy he once thought of as a bestfriend, his stomach was beginning to growl so he decided to call it a night and go home, but as he left the garage he decided the rumbling in his stomach couldnt wait til he got home so he headed across the street to the resturant and caught his eye on the lonely lady sitting in the window, he thought how she was so pretty and how she didnt fit in with this town, her hair was long brown and curly, bluest of blue eyes, looked sad though and he wondered why?, he walked in and got greeted by an overjoyed girl behind the counter as he sat at the counter she poured him a cup of coffee he ordered a hamburger with the works and extra fries with pickles, he turned to look out the window and caught the lady in the booth looking at him as she turned away fast as if she was hoping he wouldnt catch her, he giggled and went over to her booth sat across fromher and said caughtcha and she looked at him and said she would rather be alone and would he leave, he said not right to eat alone besides he has her car as ransom the waitress brought his food and he said ill eat fast and be out of your way, but answer this for me he asked, where you going? she looked at him and decided oh hell she was stuck talking to him so she told him she was on a journey to find herself and it just so happened her car got tired and went flat, so here she is eating pie and wishing it was a turkey sandwich like at thanksgiving with the gravy and cranberry sauce on toast with stuffing, so began the small talk between the two of them and they talked late into the night as the resturant was getting ready to close she realized she had no place to stay.....
