Nodding quietly, Ele stood up and hugged Tyler before going to the bedroom. Leaving her phone behind, something inside of Ele told her that if she looked, she would find messages from her mother.
He grabs his coat and slips his shoes on, walking out to the garage to prepare the car to fire while waiting for Ele to come out. He checks the ignition, the connection on the turbo and the battery terminals. He sits down in the car and adjusts the seat.
Jogging out of the house, Ele had changed into her shorts again, but had taken one of Tyler's shirts and tied it behind her back to emphasize her small waist and her hair was in a ponytail.
Getting in the car next to Tyler, Ele smiled at him,
"I should really consider keeping a duffel bag here or something."
He smiles and revs it again this time holding the throttle down. As the turbo spools up the exhaust starts popping and banging, sending fire out from the hole left in the hood. He keeps it up for a few seconds and lets off. Looking over at Ele he smirks.
"It is so much fun, you can tune these things to run how you want. I am thinking somewhere down the road I will do a twin charge system, turbo and supercharger together."
He lets the car idle a minute before shutting it off.
She couldn't help but ask. It was her favorite part of all of this, and it took all of her concentration so her worries seemed far away when she worked,
"I've been practicing with the airbrush, but if you want someone with more experience to do it that's fine."
"We can start today. I need to order some of the pearl paints but can get started on the sanding. That will be an all day process."
He grabs a block sander and shows it to her.
"I won't be around for most the day but I will be back by 3 today. They are waxing the floors at my shop and that is a 6 hour job."
He walks over to the car and starts sanding it, showing her how to do it, sanding 3 or 4 times diagonally in one direction then coming back diagonally the other direction.
"It will take a while to sand the car, if you wanna start with the wheels, I have a sanding disk with a scuffing pad that you can prep them with. When I get back I will continue with you, that sound good?"
Ele nodded eagerly, wanting to be of some help in whatever way she could. It wasn't an exciting prospect to be alone while,Tyler was at work, but working on the tires would be time consuming at the least.
"Oh I will. I will see you later though, gonna get an early start."
He walks to his truck and sets out to work. Getting to work at about 7 he preps for the day. He gets several work rushes during his time there before finishing up for the day. At 2 he closes down and begins heading home for the day.
Ele worked diligently on the tires, sanding them as Tyler had shown her, but it hadn't taken as long as she thought. By noon Ele was finished, and decided it was a good time to make lunch. When Tyler arrived home Ele had a roast chicken pesto pasta warming in the oven for him and she had cleaned the house.
When Tyler came in, Ele smiled from where she was washing pots and pans,
Finished with the washing, Ele put the last of the pans on a drying rack and shook off her hands in the sink. She grabbed a dish towel to dry her hands and turned in Tyler's arms. She stayed quiet for a moment then rested her arms on Tyler's shoulders,
