A delayed arrival

Carter let out a sigh of relief as he restarted his truck, shifting his focus back to the road. He now had to drive a full hour in the opposite direction before he could get back on track. Despite being an hour behind schedule, he couldn’t help but feel glad that he had been the one to pick up the girl.

As he drove, he found himself reflecting on the situation. He couldn’t shake the thought of how dangerous it might have been for her if someone else had stopped to give her a ride. His decision to help her felt like the right one, but he couldn’t ignore how strange everything had been.
