Chapter 209: Kylie

Kylie tried to keep her eyes from crossing as Adam began explaining the repairs and checks he was going to do on the car. There were alternators and mufflers and hot plugs involved, or maybe they were spark plugs, and black thingies everywhere.

He finally stopped.

"You don't understand a word I'm saying to you, do you?" he said dryly.

She grimaced. "Am I that transparent?" she asked with a small laugh.

He raised an eyebrow.

She decided to keep talking before he could actually answer her rhetorical question.

"Honestly, what I know about cars is that when I put the key in the ignition and turn, it starts up. I'm many things, but mechanically inclined is not one of them. I can out-clean, out-organize, and out-cook almost anyone, but please don't ask me to find my timing belt."
