Jessica's car wasn't far from Carl's, so she could hear Sivan clearly.
There was no block between them, so Jessica could see the front of Carl's car, too.
She saw Sivan shout angrily at Carl. Two seconds later, Carl opened the car door. He went to the other side to open the door for Sivan.
Sivan was not satisfied and still shouted, "My legs are numb!"
Carl wasn't angry, and even smiled, "Get in the car."
Sivan got into the car, but she looked angry.
Jessica did not know what they had said in the car. Then, Carl's car left.
They didn't see Jessica.
When Carl's car was completely out of sight, she lowered the window.
Jessica came back to get her coat. She left it in the Golden Cauldron Club. Molly had something to take care of, so she drove back by herself.
She didn't expect to see this.
Jessica had a bad temper. She wasn't particularly nice to Carl either. But she had been careful not to go too far. She would never take it out on Carl.
But Sivan...
She shouted at Carl like that...
Carl had whatever he wanted since he was a kid, but now he had to accept this.
And he really endured it!
Jessica took a deep breath. She wanted to suppress her irritation.
What did this have to do with her?
She was an outsider. This was Carl's matter, and he was willing to accept Sivan.
