Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert's attempt to hold her back failed, and he immediately got out of the car to chase after her.

What was going on with Sherilyn? Where was she trying to go?

It didn't take him long to figure it out.

Across the street, Edgar swung open his car door, a smile playing on his lips as he leaned against the roof, waiting for the girl by his side to get in.

The girl, with her head bowed shyly, bent down to get into the car.

Then, Edgar closed the door behind her and took his place behind the wheel. The car pulled away...

"Edgar!"

Seeing this, Sherilyn quickened her pace, shouting his name in hopes he would hear her.

But with the distance between them, Edgar couldn't hear her at all. The car drove off, crossing the intersection.

"Edgar!" Sherilyn stepped forward and shouted.

Beep beep!

A harsh honking sound pierced her ears, Sherilyn flinched, too slow to react, when suddenly she was swept off her feet and pushed towards the sidewalk.

It all happened so fast, and with the force of inertia and gravity, Sherilyn lost her balance and fell to the ground.
