"Anyway, since you're divorced, I'm allowed to pursue you, aren't I?" Hugh said.

Leslie lowered her eyes in silence. She had no intention of discussing that subject with him.

However, she was relieved that she had shared her thoughts with him.

"I'm going home now. Bye." Leslie turned around without looking at him.

Hugh followed her regardless.

The parking lot was huge. Why was Hugh heading in the same direction as Leslie?

Leslie turned around and stared at him suspiciously.

Hugh explained before she could even ask, "My car broke down a while ago. Can you give me a lift?"

"No." Leslie turned him down without hesitation, though he had asked sincerely.

"You had a few glasses of wine just now, hadn't you? So, I guess you need someone to drive you home?" Hugh slowly took a car key out of his pocket.

Leslie glanced at the key and realized he was holding hers.

The doctor informed him that Natalie might not be able to hold pens for some time.
