I was more than a little surprised that Jack wanted to take me out, just the two of us. Part of me worried that he just felt bad for me because of how things had turned out yesterday, but I don’t think that was really it. He’d been staring at me all morning. I don’t know if he thought that I didn’t notice or if he didn’t care. It was obvious that something was on his mind.

The car that picked us up was ridiculously nice, just like the car we’d taken from the festival. It looked brand new. Even without knowing anything about cars, I could tell that this one was expensive. Jack opened the door for me, then got in beside me. I ran my hand along the leather of the seat.

“This car is amazing,” I said softly.

“Thank you,” Jack said. I could feel him looking at me, so I lifted my eyes to meet his. “Do you know what I do for a living?” he asked.

“You’re the CEO of a car company,” I said. Realization dawned on me suddenly. “Oh! Your company made this car.”
