“Where are you right now?” His voice tinged with urgency, he wasn’t taking any chances.
“I’m still in the hotel’s underground parking lot.
What’s going on?”
Ste was confused by his words.
“I need to know you make it back to the studio safely.
Send me your location,” Matthew insisted.
Ste didn’t argue.
She promptly shared her location and drove out of the hotel’s underground parking lot.

Just as she rounded a corner, she spotted a speeding trucking from the opposite direction.
Her pupils constricted instantly.
She mmed her foot onto the brake pedal, but the car didn’t slow down.

The situation was dire.
Ste’s forehead was slick with cold sweat, her voice quivering.
“Stay calm.
I’m on my way,” Matthew reassured her.
“Try to slow down by going straight.
I’ll be right-“
“Matthew! She couldn’t afford to listen anymore.
Gripping the wheel tightly with both hands, she honked incessantly to alert nearby pedestrians and vehicles.
