He then placed his other hand on the steering wheel and took another drag of his cigarette. “Bear in mind that you’re just Scarlett’s substitute.”

Under a veil of the cigarette smoke, he drew a rather lonesome figure as if he had worn himself to a frazzle, trying to bear all the lies and deceptions in his life.

Halfway through the journey, Gregory called and said he wanted a cake from the bakery we went to previously, so I asked Ashton to stop the car when we were passing by the mall.

When I was unfastening my seat belt, he said with a hint of contempt in his voice, “Why bother to get the cake by yourself? You can always get someone else to deliver it straight to the house.”
