Tell us what is wrong and we'll fix it.
Hey! You're back early. How was the drive?
Um, yeah... the drive was mostly fine.
Mostly? What's that supposed to mean?
Kate, before I say anything, promise you won't get angry.
Oh no. Emily, what have you done to my car?
Well, it's nothing serious... it's only a tiny scratch.
A scratch? Where? How tiny?
On the passenger door. I'm so, so sorry.
Tiny? Emily, that goes right across the whole door!
I know. It looks worse in daylight.
Tell me exactly what happened.
I was reversing out of a narrow space at the supermarket,
and I misjudged the distance to a concrete post.
Hang on. Was anybody hurt? Did you hit another car?
No, nothing like that. It was only me and the post.
Okay. That's the main thing, I suppose.
But I'd only just had it serviced! You knew that!
I feel awful, honestly. I should have been more careful.
I'll pay for the repair, every penny of it.
Do you have any idea how much that's going to cost?
Well... I rang a garage on the way home, and they quoted three hundred.
You've already called a garage?
Yes! They can fit it in on Thursday, and I'll drop it off myself.
Right. I have to admit, that's very grown-up of you.
I just didn't want you to find it and think I'd hidden it.
Well, I'm glad you told me straight away.
Besides, I did the same thing to Dad's car when I was your age.
You did? You never told me that!
Of course not. And you're never telling him, either.
Deal! So... can I borrow it again next weekend?
Don't push your luck.
