The delivery guy shrugged, ‘Just some new parts for your special project.’ Romey grinned, ‘Aha! Another secret mission from my neighbor!’ And as the sun peeked through the fog, everyone knew—even if no one ever found out—they’d just witnessed another day at Romey’s mysterious automotive shop.

A regular customer walked in, scratching his head: ‘Hey Romey, you’ve been fixing cars here for decades—how come you always seem to get these random gifts?’ Romey winked: ‘Oh, that? Just my way of saying thanks for your business—and don’t worry, it’ll balance out when you finally replace those noisy mufflers.’
