David had just fired up the engine when he heard Rosalind's words. He promptly hit the brakes and stuck his head out the window. "Hop in!" he called out to her. Rosalind pushed open the passenger door and climbed into David's car, settling into the front seat.

"My car was totally fine until you mentioned it might be broken. And then, just like that, it actually broke down. How do you explain your uncanny accuracy?" Rosalind complained, a hint of frustration in her tone David, slightly embarrassed, grinned. "Just a coincidence."

"Of course, I've had a crush on him since my teenage years. It's just a shame that back then, he only had eyes for my sister and couldn't see me at all," Rosalind affirmed.
