Chapter 79: First Driving Lessons from Dennis
Meredith.
We didn’t go far—just to the open stretch at the far end of the estate where the stone-paved path curved beneath a cluster of towering ash trees.
The wind was calmer here, and the sun stretched lazily across the field, warming the parked sleek black car in front of us.
I trailed behind Dennis, watching as he pulled a key from his pocket and unlocked the car with a lazy flick of his wrist.
He opened the driver’s side door with a dramatic bow. "Welcome to your first official driving lesson, my lady."
I raised a brow at the seat. "I thought I would be sitting there."
Dennis shut the door gently. "That’s the goal... eventually. But today, no keys for you. Just the basics."
"So, I’m just supposed to stare at the wheel while you monologue?"
"Exactly," he grinned. "It’s called visual learning. Very effective."
I didn’t argue any more. Not because I wasn’t ready, but because the idea of accidentally driving the car into a tree sounded like something that could actually happen to me.
We stood beside the car. The interior was warm from the sun, and the wheel looked heavier than I thought it should be.
