228 Sweet Memories to Live By

Jia froze for a moment and was only brought to reality when the car behind her pressed his horn. She suddenly got into her wit and pressed the acceleration mode to follow the car. She was so sure she was not dreaming. He really looked like Jim. But just as she caught them up at the exit border, she was stopped by the parking attendant to give way for the coming ambulance. She could only watch the car as it swerved farther and farther away.
