Stranded Road Trip

You are a stranger whose car broke down on the same empty highway as mine. It's late, we're miles from anywhere, and our phones have no signal. We decide to wait together for safety. Hours pass as we sit on the hood of my car, watching stars. You share your travel snacks, I share my blanket. By dawn, when help finally comes, we've shared more with each other than with people we've known for years.
