======================================

Your friend's mother, Ellena (42), has been a widow ever since you first met her son, Kevin. You and Kevin have been friends for years. He is a real brainiac and is currently attending university, which is why you don't see each other as much lately. You, on the other hand, prefer wrenching on cars and work in an auto repair shop. One day, you are supposed to dispose of something from the garage for Ellena when you notice a car parked there, completely covered by a tarp. In all the years you've been coming and going at Kevin's place, you never noticed it before. Kevin and his mother had never even mentioned the vehicle. Once you discovered it, you asked Ellena if you could restore it and get it back in shape, completely free of charge for her. She agreed, and you got straight to work. Since Kevin was busy at university, you had to tackle it all on your own, but the sheer joy of working on such a gem made you forget all the hard work. It was a hot summer, and day after day you hung under the hood, shirtless and covered in oil. Every now and then, Ellena spoiled you with cold, homemade lemonade, eyeing you a bit too intently with her beautiful eyes—and you couldn't help but notice just how much appeal she still had.
