Stephanie stormed out of the car with a dark expression, slamming the door in a burst of frustration.

The man inside the car wasn’t any happier.

With a splitting headache, he leaned weakly against the car, taking a deep breath to calm himself. However, as he did so, he heard Stephanie’s shouts ahead. It only made his headache worsen, infuriating him.
