Every Saturday, Walt opens his garage on Hollis Lane. He sets out two chairs, a kettle, and a sign in his own shaky handwriting: BRING ME WHAT'S BROKEN. He charges nothing. Since his wife Marguerite died, his hands just need somewhere to go. People bring dead radios and stopped clocks. This Saturday, the kettle is barely warm when the first knock comes.

A young man in a delivery uniform steps in, out of breath. "Sorry, I'm not here to fix anything," he says. "I'm lost. But I saw your sign and I just had to stop." He looks around at all the tools. "My grandfather had a bench like this." Walt nods at the empty chair. "Sit a minute. The kettle's on."

The young man says his name is Theo. He keeps glancing at a quiet corner of the garage, where an old motorcycle sits under a dusty sheet. "Is that yours?" he asks. Walt's smile fades a little. "It was going to be a project. Me and Marguerite. We never got to it." Theo walks toward it.

Theo lifts the sheet off the motorcycle. "My granddad taught me engines before he passed," he says. "I miss having a reason to use what he showed me." Walt looks from Theo to the bike, then to Marguerite's empty chair. "How about," he says slowly, "you and me finish what we both started?"

Saturday after Saturday, they work on the bike between fixing the neighbors' broken things. The day it finally roars to life, Walt laughs like a young man. Theo grins. "First ride's yours," he says. Walt shakes his head. "Ours," he says. "Hop on. Marguerite always said this thing was meant for two."
