"What's that?" Penelope asked.

"Ride in my car." Kelvin proposed.

She countered, "I can take the bus."

"Then I suppose I'd have to follow the bus," he said.

With a drawn-out sip of coffee, Kelvin proposed, "Of course, there's a second option."

"Yes. You don't have to worry about him on a daily basis. He'll show up when needed." Kelvin agreed.

Penelope's head was throbbing with worry.

What about Jack? Was he going to suffer Kelvin's wrath because of her mistakes?

"Just drive," Penelope said with resignation.

Kelvin's lips curled into a sly smile.

She gasped in surprise and quickly slung the bag over her shoulder. "What are you doing?" she asked, frustrated.

"Just trying to help you," he said.

Penelope replied, "I can manage on my own."

Kelvin slightly narrowed his eyes. "You seem really tense," he remarked.

"No, I'm not!" Penelope replied, feigning calm. "I just don't like people touching my things."
