Default 1995 Blazer, broke spark plug wire, what now?

Hey guys, I have a 1995 Blazer I'm trying to change the spark plugs on. I don't have a lot of experience fixing cars, but as I pulled the boot I grabbed it by the wire and broke it accidentally. What options do I have now? I'm hoping not to have to do anything too crazy as again I'm not super experienced, but if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Here are some pics of what happened.

I have done the same many times before, and more than once managed to crimp the wire end back onto the plug and reuse it. Worse case scenario, most parts stores should have (or at least we did years ago when I worked for Advance Auto) some single pack universal plug wires that you cut to length and crimp on the end that you need, only cost like $10 I think. Or you could just take the opportunity and consider it time for a tune-up and just replace them all with some new ones

Some rodent once ate part of three of my spark wires at a friends place.

Used part of a paperclip in the middle and electrical tape for a quick repair to get home. More tape and a heat shrink a day later lasted 3 months until I had time to replace the wires for good.

You want to replace it with a proper wire for trouble-free operation.
