Chapter 121
Madeline went quiet after Lance said that. She lowered her head as she tried to hold her joy, knowing she had the privilege of being the first woman ever to sit in Lance’s prized car.
Whether she would be the only woman to ever sit with him in this car, only time will tell.
’Though I doubt that sentence, knowing Lance.’
Lance stopped at the red light. There was nothing but silence between them. Thus, Madeline asked if she could play music to break the ice between them.
After Lance gave her an ’okay,’ she picked one song from the car’s online library and played it.
[Song Recommendation: Arctic Monkeys - 505.]
Lance smiled when Madeline picked the song, "My mom loves this band."
"Oh, really?" Madeline tilted her head. "Then your mom’s taste in music is awesome."
Lance chuckled. "Well, she’s an awesome woman, yes."
Madeline saw the smile lingering on Lance’s lips as they talked about his mother, and it wasn’t an insincere smile that Lance often made, either.
It was a soft smile given to people you hold dear in your heart.
Madeline didn’t want to pry too much about Lance’s private life. But it was Lance who mentioned it first: "This car is my favorite because of a gift from my mother. It’s my graduation gift."
