Chapter Eleven

“I’m sorry, what?” Isabel asked as she leaned closer to the young mechanic behind the counter who furrowed his brows as he stared at the computer screen.

“It says here that the bill has been paid.” The poor kid looked worried as he glanced back at her. “So, it’s been paid,” he repeated.

“But how? By whom?” Isabel racked her brain, trying to figure out who would possibly front the bill for her. Or who even knew her car was in the shop.

“I’m not sure,” the kid said, dragging out each word. “I can go ask.”

Isabel waved away his offer. It was probably Bobby. The only other person who knew that her car was in the shop was Jackson. And he didn’t have any reason to pay her bills.

“No, it’s fine. I’m sure it was my fiancé.” She drummed her fingers against the counter. “Can I get my keys? I’m late for work.”

A look of relief passed over the mechanic’s face as he nodded and grabbed a key from the board behind him. “Here you go. If you could just sign here, you’ll be finished.”

Isabel nodded as she scribbled her signature next to the “x” and grabbed her keys. As she left, she shoved her hand into her purse in search of her phone.

She pulled it out and glanced down at it just in time to see it start to ring.

Bobby.

Relief flooded her chest as she swiped to accept the call and brought the phone up to her cheek. Finally, her life could go back to normal.

“Hey,” she said.

“Isabel?”

She nodded as she made her way over to her car and shoved the key into the lock. “Yeah, it’s me. It’s so good to hear your voice.”

“What? I can’t hear you.” Loud rumbling sounds were coming from his end of the call.

“It’s so good to hear from you,” Isabel shouted into the microphone.

“Still can’t—” His voice cut off as the phone fell silent.

Isabel glanced down at the screen and saw that the call had been dropped. She sighed as frustration rose up inside of her.

Spending time with Jackson had made her realize just how alone she was. Her life had become a rat race, and she was starting to feel that no matter what she did, nothing was going to get better.

Just as she slipped into the driver’s seat, the phone rang again. Glancing down, she saw it was a number she didn’t recognize.

She answered the call, hoping it was Bobby so they could finally have a conversation that lasted longer than a minute. “Hello?”

“Isabel?” Bobby’s smooth, non-scratchy voice asked. “Sorry. I finally found a phone with some service.”

She let out her breath as she shut the car door and settled into her seat. “Hey. It’s so good to hear your voice.”

“You too, babe.”

Isabel tipped her head back as she allowed the sound of his voice to wash over her. This was what she needed. This would help her get over Jackson once and for all. “When are you coming home? I need you.
