True Love Waits

"No, it's all my fault. Hey, man, get over here." He dangled a set of keys from his fingers. "Here-the keys to my race car. Take care of it for me. I'll never race again!" When Sheffield declared in public that he would quit racing, the crowd boiled over in astonishment.

"Oh my God! Is he really giving it up?"

"Breaking news!"

Ignoring what the others were saying, Sheffield put his arm around Evelyn's shoulder and walked towards his car. "Honey, please don't be mad, okay? Let's talk about this."

Joshua was smoking, leaning against his car. His face was a mess. Dried blood, bandages, a pair of shiners under his eyes. When he saw Sheffield, he dropped the cigarette and ground it out. "Don't even talk to me. We're done!"

Sheffield snorted, "Fine by me. You slept with my woman. Some friend!"

Listening to his childish words, Evelyn couldn't help but sigh. "Sheffield..."

"Okay, okay. I just need some time!" Sheffield compromised.
