With that, he began to roll up the window, preparing to drive off.
Doreen was taken aback. Was that all? Why hadn’t he requested her contact information? Did he expect her, a lady, to make the first move? Questions swirled in Doreen’s mind.
Just as Roscoe’s car started to pull away, Doreen mustered the courage and said, “Roscoe…”
