Letitia swung the car door open. “Elgin, I know who’s good to me, and I’m sure you ain’t on that list!”

After stepping out, she deliberately slammed the door with a bang.

“How’s that for a ride, kiddo?” The driver was puffing his chest with pride. “Doesn’t matter how pricey the car is, it’s all about driving it like a pro!”

Letitia rolled down the window, looked at the Rolls Royce next to her, and gave the finger.
