The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Jeremy leaned into the seat, so Corinne did not see him when she woke up. She just thought he was part of the seat. It was not until he moved his body that the light from outside of the car fell on his face.

Corinne was not happy to see him at all. She frowned out of embarrassment and asked, “It’s you! How… How did I end up in your car?!”

Jeremy glanced sideways at her. “You should first ask yourself why you fainted on me of all people.”

“Sorry, I must’ve fainted because of low blood sugar. Thank you for saving me. Well, I guess I’ll be off, then,” she said.

After that, she opened the car door. Jeremy did not stop her. Instead, he just said breezily, “I guess you don’t want to see Nellie Nymphaea’s self-portrait, then.”
