Tiffany and Teresa were still holding each other when a familiar car came into sight. The window rolled down to reveal Vincent looking at them.
"Mr. Wilson is ready for us now. We should get going," he said to Tiffany.
"Mr. Lewis?" Tiffany was surprised. "Didn't you leave ages ago?"
"I was passing by," he said vaguely. "Get in. I can't stop here for long."
After a pause, she said, "Okay."
…
Teresa remained by the sidewalk after Vincent and Tiffany left. She wiped her tears.
After a while, she collected herself and trudged along the road, intending to find a bus stop so she could take the bus home.
A car slowly drove out of the neighborhood. Clyde cried excitedly, "Leon, it's that woman!"
Leon, who was in the backseat, looked up. His gaze immediately zeroed in on Teresa.
"Doesn't she stay at Fenwell Garden? What's she doing here?" Clyde looked interested.
"Focus on the road. Stop being such a gossip."
"Fine, fine." Clyde glanced at Leon in the rearview mirror. He asked cautiously, "Do you want to head over to say hi?"
Leon shot him a displeased look. "One more word out of your mouth, and I'll kick you out of the car."
