A Few Heartbeats Away From Disaster

The first time I laid eyes on Lucy was the Sunday morning after I had gotten out of school for summer vacation. I was up early and was sitting at the kitchen table with my dad before he left for work. With a spoonful of cereal in one hand, I flipped through the newspaper with the other. I was ready to toss it in the garbage when her picture caught my eye. Honestly, she wasn’t anything special. She was far from brand new and the ad said she needed a few minor repairs but it was love at first sight. It honestly was, because I didn’t know anything about her yet I knew she had to be mine. The only problem was coming up with two-thousand dollars.
