   ❝   because you’re the best damn mechanic in riverdale, betty cooper.   ❞   and there was none of reggie’s usual insincere flattery; betty was the best mechanic in riverdale, by a country mile, and he wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with the black beauty. her deft hands had been his only option, really. 

   it was concerning news, though, and he scratched at the back of his neck, smile faltering just a little. rare that his perfectly crafted facade should slip, but his car was serious business.   ❝   well, the fact that it happened to my car is evidence of that, isn’t it, coop?   ❞   a beat of hesitation, then,   ❝   …thanks for this, betts. I know this woulda been a pain in the ass for you. I’ll buy you a shake when we get—   ❞   thunder boomed, loud enough that reggie imagined he could feel it in his teeth. and then the skies opened up, soaking him to the skin in seconds. reggie pushed sodden hair out of his face, lips pursed.   ❝   …back to town…   ❞

             In seconds, she was giving her best impression of a drowned, blonde rat. “ Murphy’s law, huh? ” Water seemed to pour in buckets just then, like the clouds had had just about enough of it, the rain too heavy to hold. The farmers would be overjoyed, after the summer they’d had. Hardly any rain then. “ We should get back into town. Come back when it stops raining. ” 

But his car… it was so… It was so. So fancy, so shiny, so very likely to get ransacked if left alone. The kind of car that was too much trouble. Betty had no choice, then. She blew a wet strand of hair off her forehead. It was barely even ra––– CCRRK! The massive scream of thunder seemed to disagree. Her brow set stubbornly, she pointed at her car. Her face, all business, her voice left no room for messing around. Betty’s future as a kick-ass teacher was in the making as she pointed to her family car. “ Get in, turn on the heating if you can. Then drive her back to my house, please. I’ll fix your car up and follow along. ” Her palm opened. Eyes softened. “ I’ll take care of her. CROSS my heart. ”
