A terrible morning
Jasmine is a teacher with brown, curly hair who lives in the north of
Scotland. It’s really cold and icy there and one day, when Jasmine was
driving to work, there had been an accident so she had to go a
different way. Unfortunately, she got lost because her GPS wasn’t
working.
She decided to stop to ask for directions. She saw a farmer and he
offered to give her a ride because it was really dangerous.
Later, when he met her after school, she took his phone number and
then they went for a coffee.
A terrible morning with a happy ending!
