When Samira finally bought her first used car—a trusty Toyota Corolla—it felt like a personal triumph. After quitting her corporate job to pursue writing, this was her first step toward independence. But the next morning, her excitement was interrupted by a strange, urgent phone call from the car’s previous owner.
Ben sounded panicked as he explained he’d accidentally left something “alive” under the seat and needed to retrieve it immediately. Intrigued but cautious, Samira agreed to meet him at a nearby park. When he arrived, she was surprised to see him pull out a small, ventilated box filled with mealworms and roaches—critters he used to feed his pet gecko.
The absurdity of the situation made Samira laugh, breaking the tension instantly. What started as an awkward errand quickly turned into an unexpected bonding moment, complete with shared stories and humor. Ben apologized for the oversight and invited her for coffee to make up for the inconvenience, which Samira gladly accepted.
