Summary
The bell above the door jingled, alerting Bradley that someone had entered the shop. He ducked out of the back room to find two brick walls worth of men shutting the door behind them. Sighing a little at the intrusion, despite it still being opening hours, Bradley took up position behind the counter and pasted on his best customer service smile.
Or: Bradley and Jake's first meeting goes a little bit different when there's no rivalry to stop them from aggressively falling head over heels for one another

Summary
“Mom and I agreed I wasn’t gonna enlist Mav.”
Bradley had been reluctant to remind him while also trying not to sound too heartbroken. He didn’t want his mother feeling guiltier than she already did when there were more important things to be thinking about.
“You promised your mom you wouldn’t fly, that you wouldn’t be a fighter pilot. There’s so much more to the navy than just that kiddo.”
or: Bradley is a mini Hondo

Summary
Jake bet fifty-fifty on whether he was going to enjoy this conversation and stepped up to the passenger side door just as the window rolled down. He was greeted with a warm, smiling, moustachioed face which took him off guard. Though Jake didn’t recognise the driver, something about him verged upon familiar. His smile faltered as his gaze flitted over Jake’s face, eyes tightening in a way Jake didn’t want to overanalyse, but it made him seem no less friendly overall.
“Where you headed?”
“Closest ranch,” Jake replied, trying to keep his tone neutral as he made the snap decision to not identify himself for reasons he would rather not think about.
or... little bit of homecoming, whole lot of drama

Jake went back to join the party, seemingly indifferent, like their meeting was barely a blip on his radar in the grand scheme of things.
Or, so Bradley had thought based off of the signals he had been picking up on at the time.

Summary
Jake thought he might get away with not being questioned any further over his recovery choices as Bradley instructed him to turn over the engine and they both grimaced at the dramatic way it spluttered for a moment before dying again. He managed to get through the entire process of Bradley concluding his initial investigation and hooking Jake’s truck up behind his for towing before the subject was brought up again.
“So, I’m guessing Mav was the backup plan then? Or do you just have a thing for hanging out on the highway for hours on end before calling for help?”
