It's a Choice

Angela didn't have a choice—well, she did, she could obviously get an Uber, but that would seem too much, especially with her brother and father around. She didn't need to be questioned why she'd refuse to ride with Gael.

He brought a Cadillac Escalade with him this time, similar to the one he owned back in New York, but it had a different interior. She didn't ask, thinking that making small talk wouldn't help her at the moment, so she just kept quiet.

Riccardo was the one who drove the vehicle, just like Gael said earlier. The latter increased the temperature in the SUV, considering it was pretty cold outside. It wasn't very toasty, but it was cozy enough to sit in the backseat. "Is that okay?" he asked, and she nodded.
