At The Dead Of The Night

In the dead of night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, a petite figure walked out of the villa in a hurry. This was Ava.

She took a step or two and looked back several times, fearing that she would be discovered. She did not let down her guard until she was far away from the villa area.

After midnight, the streets were silent from all the hustle and bustle, and the cold wind was chilly. Ava tightened her windbreaker and quickened her pace.

An orange cab was speeding along a wide road to the right side of Ava who was wearing a beige dress. She hailed the taxi which eventually stopped in front of her.

When she opened the car door and got in, the driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

After driving for many years, he rarely saw single women walking alone on the street in the late hours of the night.
