ON THE ROCKS

I asked her if she needed a ride home.  She said "No thanks, my parents are picking me up.  They are running a little late due to the flash flood and high water."  After she said that, I noticed my new Packard being swept away in the torrent below us.  I told her that I might need a ride home.  She said that her parent's car was very small and there wouldn't be any room for an extra passenger.  It was then that I realized our relationship was on the rocks.
