When Annie heard Thad Drew utter her name, she was slightly taken aback.
They had known each other for so many years, but this was the first time he had ever addressed her by name.
Despite appearing gentle on the surface, Thad was actually cold at heart, with very few people getting close to him.
"Fine, I won't intervene, but..." Annie moved closer to the window, her eyes as bright as stars, unblinkingly staring at Thad's face, "you have to take me for a spin, that shouldn't be too hard!"
Thad hesitated for a moment before walking to the driver's seat, starting the car and driving away with Annie.
He knew very well that while Annie could act on a whim, he couldn't afford to.
He was afraid of losing Betsy Russell. He had already lost her three years ago, and he couldn't afford to lose her again.
