The car came to a halt, Vincent put off the car engine, and step down from the car to bring out Sharon's bag from the boot.

John and his wife gaze intensely at each other, with Sharon's grip tighten on him. They both don't want to let go of each other, not after what happened last night.

Sharon wished she hadn't told him the school stipulated all students must stay at the school campus. Somehow, she wanted to take it back, so she can be with him, but the deal is done, and can't be undone.

She felt bad for lying to him, and that was because she wanted to stay away from him. She feared his features at first, and now that she wants to be with him, she doesn't know how to tell him, she would prefer going to school from home, rather than staying in the school campus.

If only she could drive, she would have asked John to allow her to go to school with her newly gifted car.

Unbeknownst to her, John knew she only made up the story because she wanted to stay far from him due of his features.
