Changing Boyfriends

The car slowly moved away. 

 

Despite not being a regular driver, Damien Sterling's driving skills seemed superior to any chauffeur's. 

 

The passenger seat offered a direct view ahead, proving to be a tad more comfortable than the backseat.

 

Emma Hart found her mood inexplicably uplifted, gazing out the window. 

 

The golden sunlight sprinkled across the road, making the asphalt twinkle, while the swaying shadows of green trees moved backwards, compelling Emma to hum a tune.

 

"Feeling joyful?" 

 

Emma glanced at the man beside her, who had a knack for dampening her spirits, whether she was happy or not. Being around him was quite the challenge!

 

As they drove on, the road felt familiar to Emma. 

 

It was only after Damien turned into an alley that she realized: they were headed to her high school alma mater.
