She heard the sound of approaching footsteps, but didn’t bother turning to face the salesman until he spoke to her. His voice rang in her ears when he welcomed her to Starr Motors. Brooke smiled a polite smile as she faced him, preparing herself for all of the sales tactics that car salesmen knew, when she realized that he looked familiar.<br/><br/>Her head tilted and her brows knitted as she considered him more carefully. It clicked right when he seemed to recognize her, as well. Parker Starr - Payton’s ex boyfriend from high school. Her smile grew and she popped one hip out and to the side. “Well, if it isn’t Parker Starr.” She gestured to him with a hand. “I almost didn’t recognize you in this… handsome suit.”<br/><br/>Brooke’s hands went to her waist, where they wedged against her hips. Again, she looked him over. Was he this good looking when he was dating her daughter? Because Brooke couldn’t recall thinking as much about him before. “Oh, and it’s Miss Summers.” She chuckled. Though, honestly, she felt much too young to go by Miss Summers.<br/><br/>“But, please, call me Brooke.” She flashed him another warm smile, and then turned, pointing to her Volkswagen bus in the back. “My old van finally crapped out. And the tow truck brought us here to you guys.” A slight sigh left her. “But, I can’t afford any of this. I probably can’t even pay for a rental car.” She shook her head, clearly a little frazzled over it all.
