“Your car is still broken.” He stood up, brushing his hands off on his jeans. “It isn’t going anywhere for a while.”

My heart sank. “How long would it take to fix?”

“Well, I could do the work myself at our shop,” Caleb said, studying the damage with a professional eye. “But with parts and everything…
