NovelEnglishChapter 1602:
“Brady?” she exclaimed incredulously.
“In the flesh,” Brady confirmed, his heartbeat faltering momentarily. “My identity remains intact in your
memory?”
“What kind of question is that?” Colleen’s laughter rang out with genuine amusement. “Memory impairment
hardly afflicts me. Our previous encounter spanned considerable hours, and your striking appearance hardly
qualifies as forgettable. How could recollection possibly fail?”
“Hmm.” A delicate crimson tinge colored Brady's complexion. Discomfort manifested in his theatrical throat-
clearing as he redirected attention toward her disabled vehicle.
“Mechanical malfunction?” he inquired perceptively.
“Indeed.” Displeasure creased Colleen’s forehead. “Urgent transportation needs dictated purchasing a pre-
owned vehicle... Barely established ownership, yet complete operational failure greets me.”
“Mind if | take a look?” he offered.

Brady rolled up his sleeves and leaned over the open hood, inspecting the engine with a practiced eye.
After a brief moment, he straightened up. “It’s a spark plug issue,” he said matter-of-factly.
“Huh?” Colleen blinked, confused. “What am | supposed to do now?”
“You'll have to call a tow truck and get it towed to a repair shop,” he explained.
“Ugh, that’s such a hassle,” she muttered with a sigh.
Brady gave a small nod. Seeing the frustration on her face, he offered, “You're still settling back into Srixby—this
kind of thing can be a pain. Wantto help you call a tow truck?”
“Yes, please!” Colleen answered without hesitation, so quickly it caught Brady off guard. He raised an eyebrow.
“You trustthat easily? What if I'm up to something shady?”

“What's there to be afraid of?” Colleen said, shaking her head with a relaxed smile. “You're Hadley'’s little brother
—that makes you a brother to me, too.”
A brother to her... The words settled uneasily in Brady’s mind.
Brady frowned, just barely. That title didn’t sit right with him.
Masking his reaction, he forced a smile. “I've got it. I'll make the call.”
“Thanks, Brady,” she said with genuine warmth.
Brady dialed the tow company and made the arrangements. “Just hang tight—someone’ll be here soon.”
“Alright,” Colleen replied, nodding.
When the tow truck pulled up, Brady took care of everything. Colleen only needed to sign her non the
paperwork.
“That's it,” Brady said, dusting off his hands.
Once the car was hauled off, Colleen let out a long breath, relief washing over her.
Brady turned to her with curiosity. “So, where were you headed just now, Colleen?” He motioned toward his car.
“Con, I'll give you a ride.”
Colleen hesitated—not out of manners, but real concern. “Are you sure? | don’t want to disrupt your plans.”
