The only thing she felt was a cool weight on her forehead. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to brake so sharply,” the driver hurriedly apologized.

They were already quite a distance away, but he could still vaguely see Rachel’s figure reflected there. He could see enough to know that she’d taken off the coat, hung it over her arm, and was now
