Josh led Aria to his car and walked close by her side. As they approached the vehicle, he quickly raced to open the car door for her, using his hand to protect her head, lest she bump it.
Aria noticed these small gestures, and because of them, her positive impression of Josh grew even stronger. She felt reassured that her initial feelings had been right.
Once they were inside the car, Josh asked considerately, "I don't know if you get car sick or not. So, if you feel nauseous, just let me know, and I'll open the windows for you. I'm aware that there might be a smell in the car, but I can't detect it myself. I just don't want you to be bothered by it."
Hearing this, Aria couldn't help but smile.
