Such moments of solitude in the car had become a rare thing for them.

Laura had been more of a homebody, and their outings had been infrequent. Most of their meals were lovingly prepared by him, and she hadn't clung to him when work beckoned. They spent their free time cuddling at home and watching movies.

“There's a lantern show just ahead and some really nice food. Olivia has mentioned it a few times. Would you like to give it a try?” Laura had been reluctant to engage with him, and her presence on going out with him felt more coerced than voluntary.

After all, he still possessed the finesse of a suitor, undeterred by Laura's reticence.
Their shared history had endowed him with a deep understanding of her temperament and her penchant for silence, qualities he found utterly endearing.
Having reached the parking lot, Edwin brought the car to a halt.
But Laura remained seated, unmoved.
He opened his door and said warmly, “It’s time to step out.” She protested, “You go ahead! | have no desire to leave this car.”
