"Stop here, please; let me out." As the streets became more familiar, Sarah, who had been silent since getting into the car, finally spoke up. She had originally wanted to refuse Adrian's offer to take her home, but he had insisted on doing so for safety reasons and agreed only to drop her off two blocks from her house, so in the end, Sarah acquiesced to his method.
Adrian pulled over to the curb as requested, and Sarah immediately unfastened her seatbelt on the passenger side to get out. However, Adrian called out to her at that moment, "There are some things I'd still like to discuss with you, Sarah."
Sarah's body tensed, her hand retreating from the door handle. She sat up straight, her eyes fixed forward.
