That red sports car was zooming.
"Yeah, that one up ahead!"
Ellinor's ride was soon in sight, and Byran pointed enthusiastically, "Quick, help me catch up to it!"
Ida responded, stepping on the gas to tail it closely.
They pursued it all the way onto the freeway, gradually closing the gap.
Byran was thoroughly pleased, glancing at Ida with admiration, "Your car is really fast."
"It's alright." Ida smiled lightly, always keeping her eyes on the road ahead. Her lazy curls fluttered in the wind, looking both cool and sexy.
Byran was utterly smitten, finding her extremely beautiful.
But soon, he snapped back to reality, looking back up front, only to find that something was off.
Ida's car had somehow caught up with Ellinor's and even overtaken it!
The smile on Byran's face disappeared in an instant. He turned around hastily to look at the car falling behind, urgently telling Ida.
"Wait, why did you overtake it? Slow down, slow down!"
Ida arched an eyebrow, "Didn't you tell me to catch up to that car?"
Byran sighed, "I told you to catch up, not overtake. I wanted to track her and see where she was going, not race her. Slow down now; get back behind that car!"
"Alright."
Ida nodded in agreement, slowing down as he requested.
But even as they slowed down, the car behind them didn't catch up; instead, it went in another direction.
Seeing this, Byran yelled in panic, "What are you waiting for? Turn around and chase it!"
Ida shrugged, "This is a freeway. You can't make a U-turn and can't stop."
