Chapter 5

Charmaine whistled as he ran a finger alongside the shiny black Austin Martin. The real gold trim made it all the more fancy. He had a moment of panic as his thoughts moved along the lines of him wrecking the car and ruining an amazing gift.

He hopped into the driver's seat and the panic ensued. How could he drive a classic such as this out into the crazy traffic he was about to enter? He admired its pristine beauty, knowing that Mother hardly drove the car herself but kept it in good shape in honor of her deceased husband. It was all just a bit much and he was not sure he could go through with it.
