The driver, Cynthia, and Eilies went from sheer terror to exhilaration, their eyes gleaming with excitement! Flora's driving was just too cool!

Flora didn't reply, but the hand that had been casually in her pocket was now out, neerbout her jaw-tightened, her eyes narrowed, a cold light flickering in them. wn
"Flora, something wrong?" Eilies, sensing her tense expression and remembering the earlier incident, felt a pang of anxiety. "It's nothing," Flora said, her lips curling into a slight grin, her cold with a hint of defiance, another group looking for r group looking for Met X
