Irish held back her laughter the whole time and snuck glances at his face from the corner of her eye. He looked gentle and drove the car slowly. Irish thought for a while and finally asked, "Is it your first time driving here?"

"I didn't think you would be so kind as to drive me all the way here," Irish said in a reasonable tone. "But you can't just stop the car in the middle of the alley now."
"You did this on purpose." But she could tell from his tone he wasn't the least bit upset.
"Do you find me so petty and mean?"
She continued the banter and shanked down as she found many pedestrians were staring.
