recalled what Kirk had said
What was worse was that she couldn’t say anything to him. In the end, she parked the car by the
roadside and took out her phone. Just as she was about to call another driver, her phone rang. It
was Gwen
“How was it today?”
“Forget it Disappointment seeped through her voice.
“What happened?” Gwen sounded nervous.
Caroline didn’t know how to explain things to Gwen, so she simply came up with an excuse Nothing
