The Porsche was still parked at the entrance. Lucas was sitting inside, having spent the entire afternoon there while she worked. Aveline couldn't help but think he must be incredibly bored. Since he hadn't left yet, she approached the car and asked, "Lucas, could you give me a ride?"

Lucas had taken off his sunglasses, holding a cigarette between his fingers. He glanced at her, his expression unreadable.

After a long afternoon of work, Aveline was covered in dust, but her eyes were still bright.
