okay, Jinny. I’m fine. I’m just at the side of the road waiting for the tow

We had just been talking about Faith, and she suddenly showed up.
Thank

say the truck and its driver got off
lightly: he was fine, and the truck only suffered a bend bumper.

incapacitated beyond repair

The fire caused so much damaged that the entire building was a write-off.

If you “take something lightly,” you
don’t consider something seriously.
Thanks
love, but I’m really okay – just a little shamefaced.
