Blinking in bewilderment, Sherilyn blurted out, “It’s not that I was too polite to refuse; I wanted to get in his car, that’s why I did. Uh…”

“Sherilyn!”

“But I didn’t ask you to come!” Sherilyn retorted, her chin raised defiantly, “I don’t need you to! Stop doing this in the future!”

Instantly, his expression shifted slightly, as if he couldn’t believe what he had heard, falling into a long silence.
