14 Serves You Right

The gate to the private parking lot creaked open as Enzo slowly pulled the car inside, parking in one of the vacant spots. Adeline furrowed her brows, staring out the window at the empty lot. “Why here?” she thought. Before she could voice her confusion, Enzo was already out of the car, slamming the door behind him.

He turned back briefly to ensure she had stepped out before locking the car with a press of the button on his key. Without a word, he began striding toward the lot’s exit with his usual confident, almost arrogant pace.

Adeline stood there, both arms raised in bafflement. "What is wrong with this man?" she muttered under her breath, shaking her head.

Seeing that he wasn’t slowing down or giving her any explanation, Adeline had no choice but to run after him. By the time she caught up, he had already reached the sidewalk outside the lot. Desperate for answers, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to a stop. Gasping for breath, she leaned over, her hands resting on her knees.
