Chapter 137

“It’s fine. I guess I’m just thinking about the fact that I almost lost you to a car accident.”

“But you seem fine when I’m in the car with you. What’s the difference?” Tabitha asked.

“I don’t know. I guess it’s because I know I’m with you so whatever happens I’ll be with you.”

“Oh. If it’s a problem, we just won’t get a vehicle. I can just take a bus or something.”

“No. It’s fine. Anything can happen at any time. I just have to get over my fear is all.”

“If you’re sure. I can wait. It’s not a big deal. I don’t want you to worry about me. I do think it’s sweet, though.”

It was sitting in the bank. Maybe he should tell her about it. It was a lot of money. He drove them to a car lot.
