Of all things to do for fun, Ashely had never imagined street racing.
She sat in the passenger seat of a blue sports car Chris had given with Nathan by her side. A young woman in a short skirt walked ahead and stood in the middle of Nathan and Chris' car. With a wink, she waved the flag in her hand.
Once she waved, Ashley felt the car move in a flash. A rush of energy overcame her as she watched Nathan drive.
Her eyes stayed on Nathan. There was something different about him; a spark in his eyes she had never seen before. Right now, he was no longer that stoic and indifferent husband of hers. And weirdly, she found herself relating to him.
Nathan then turned to look at her. "Are you okay." His eyes kept moving. From the road and then, back to her. "I'm fine. Please stay focused.", she said to him, her eyes moving back to the road. Silence then descended in the car. As if hit by a sudden train of thoughts, Ashley turned back to him abruptly. "When you're done, can I drive?"
