Anne finally parted with Paul and Linda who decided to go back to the apartment by bus. It was still early so there were still many buses going to their apartment even when the snow had started to cover the highway. After making sure that the shop was completely locked, Anne then walked to her favorite car which was parked in front of the shop. Several other small shops not far from Anne's shop had also started closing. They would only operate when the winter is over just like Anne. She then carefully stepped inside her car. She didn't want to hurt her left leg again.
Just as Anne was about to open the door, suddenly a huge hand grabbed her right hand tightly. Anne would surely scream as loud as she could if she didn't find out that the hand belonged to Aaron who immediately covered her mouth with his other hand.
"It's me, Anne," Aaron said quietly as he removed the jacket covering his mouth.
