HONK!!!
Edric was startled by the honk and turned to face the road, but all he saw were the cars leaving the stop.
He momentarily believed that he might have seen Emily, but he soon realized that it was just another hallucination and that she wasn't there anymore.
Edric turned on the car and drove off, but he did not notice the other side of the road where Emily stood for a taxi.
"Am I heading in the correct direction? It's been so long since I came here. Everything seems so different," Emily murmured as she surveyed the surroundings and waved her hand upon spotting the taxi.
Emily jumped, and her eyes narrowed suspiciously as a random car stopped in front of her.
"Derek," she said as soon as she could see Derek's face through the sliding window.
Unexpectedly, Emily asked as she watched Derek get out of the car and approach her, "How did you know that-?"
