Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller

ndscape.

Very few people were out on a cold winter night. Because of New Year’s Day, colorful lights were everywhere. The whole world looked quiet and gentle.

It was painstakingly quiet in the car. Ethan wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to start.

Meanwhile, Olivia watched the scenery outside the window, deep in thought.

They were about to round a corner. Ethan slowed down ahead of time.

Just then, a vehicle from another lane hurtled toward them. Aimed at Ethan’s car, it sped toward them with abandon.

Startled by the sudden turn of events, Ethan hastily turned the steering wheel, moving the car onto the pedestrian lane at the side to avoid the vehicle.

Ethan had already reacted quickly, but when the vehicle sped toward them, it still grazed the side of the driver’s seat

The vehicle was a middle-sized truck. With fearsome power, it rammed into their car diagonally, shoving the car even further.

The closed glass doors of a shop were right in front of them. The car had gone out of control.

Everything happened too fast. When Olivia registered what was happening, she heard Ethan’s shout.

“Liv, watch out!”
