Sliding into the driver‘s seat, Maggie felt a surge of nervousness, especially when she realized Sanford
himself would be providing instruction.
As Sanford and Bart climbed into the vehicle, her hand trembled slightly on the ignition.
An experienced driver himself, Sanford picked up on Maggie’s anxiety immediately.
“Ease up,” he suggested gently. “There’s no need to be nervous.”
“Okay.”

Though she possessed a valid driving license, this was her first real experience on the road.
As such, she drove at a turtle’s pace, attracting the irked honks of cars that overtook them.
Witnessing even a scooter zip past their slow-moving car, Bart, from the back seat, couldn’t resist the
jibe. “Maggie, you do realize you’re driving a car with four wheels, right? Can you go a bit faster? Even
that scooter’s beating us.”
A blush tinted Maggie’s cheeks at the comment.
Sanford, chuckling beside her, came to her defense. “Easy, Bart. Your sister’s just being careful.”
“Oh, you’re just trying to coax her,” Bart grumbled in response.
Feeling a tad defensive, Maggie’s competitive streak flared. “Alright then, buckle up. I can drive fast
too!”
She could handle driving fast.
How hard could it be?
With a determined press of her foot on the accelerator, the car lunged forward.

Acknowledging him with a nod, Maggie pressed the appropriate button.
As the car’s roof slid back, transforming the vehicle into a convertible, Bart cheered.
He stood, allowing the wind to carry his shouts into the distance, tousling their hair wildly in the
process.
Maggie couldn’t help but steal a glance at the man beside her.
The sight of his radiant smile under the open sky made her heart flutter. He was breathtakingly
handsome, his image resembling a portrait that was etched deep into her heart.
