I remember thinking to myself this is football weather. The temeperature had began to cool down outside as the sun was lowering in the sky. My drive home from work was usual except for the man I saw standing by a broken down pickup truck. I thought to myself I should stop but instinct told me to keep going. I drove another mile or so and my mind was still on him, something about him just kept calling my name. I abruptly turned the car around and went back. He was still standing there with the hood up and steam rolling from the engine. I pulled up behind his truck and got out. He looked around from under the hood and smiled as if to say thank goodness someone stopped. I asked if I could do anything for him or if he needed a lift somewhere. He said he was on his way to his friends wedding and was kind of glad to have the trouble, he didn't want to show up without a date. He said forgive me for not introducing myself I am Eric. I said glad to meet you Eric I am Angeleah. Oh that is a beautiful name, Angeleah, is it a family name? No just a plain ordinary name. You never said would you like a lift somewhere? Oh yes please there is a gas station about 5 miles down the road maybe I can make a call get someone out here to tow this truck in. So I know we just met but would you consider going to this wedding with me? I really hate to go alone. I am not really one to take up with strangers but this man had some kind of strange pull on me. It was like an instant bonding the kind where you feel as if you have known each other forever. I told him I would but we would have to go to my house where I could change and he could call a wrecker from there.
Soon I was dressed and we were on our way. We wouldn't be too late I hoped. So this friend of yours why are you so worried that you don't want to show up alone?? Well you see this is no ordinary friend she is my exgirlfriend the one i wanted to share my life with. Immediately I felt like turning around and going home. He must have sensed this and assured me that they were still friends she just no longer felt the passion that he felt for her. He said I have tried to move forward but I have never met anyone else who makes me feel like she does. At least I hadn't until now. I turned to see him blushing. Oh my I exclaimed!! You know I wasn't going to pull over in fact I drove past you and then turned around. I know he said I saw you pass and hoped you would come back. I felt this urge to come back as if you were somehow beckoning me. Oh, my dear it is fate. Fate brought us together and on a night like this.
