“Your girlfriend truly cares for you,” remarked the driver while attempting to restart the car. “Such genuine concern is rare. You should cherish her.”
Benny withdrew his hand, remaining silent.

Wiping raindrops from her face, she approached the back of the car, placing her hands against it and exerting all her strength.
Suddenly, Flossie sensed the rain easing around her. Looking up, she found an umbrella shielding her.
Benny, holding the umbrella, gazed at her. His cold demeanor persisted as he said, “Stop. We can hail another taxi.”
“Get back in the car. Don’t worry about me; it’ll start soon.”
The moment Flossie concluded her sentence, Benny seized her wrist and guided her forward.
Concerned, she hurriedly cautioned, “Slow down, your legs… It’s slippery in the rain.”
Benny held her hand in silence, continuing to walk. Worried about aggravating his injury, Flossie reluctantly followed.
Having spent time with Benny, she understood his character better.

Beneath the protective eaves, they stood together. Flossie lowered her gaze, feeling the firm grip of Benny’s hand in hers. Her lips pursed, and her heart quickened its pace.
As the rain began to subside, Flossie hailed a taxi once more.
The dampness from the earlier rain made her tremble in the wind.
Flossie crossed her arms, rubbing them for warmth. Suddenly, she felt a coat being draped over her shoulders.
Turning to see, she found a sleek black coat resting on her.
When she glanced at the man beside her, Benny swiftly averted his gaze.
Flossie couldn’t help but chuckle. “You do care about me.”
