A middle-aged man climbed down and called out, "Craig! You coming or what?" "Yeah! You guys go ahead and start unloading. I'll be right there." "Got it." The man nodded and drove off.
Craig turned back to Miles, raising an eyebrow, "See? I'm just a truck driver. What kind of life do you think your sister would have with me?" "She likes you."
