She loved her car. Jenner had bought it for her for Christmas. It was far too extravagant, and she’d tried to give it back to him. But he’d gotten this hurt look on his face and she’d ended up accepting it.
It was an Audi. Sampson had grumbled about her being allowed to drive around on her own while Isaiah had researched the safety features. However, Immy was a good driver.
Mostly.
She’d only had a couple of speeding tickets. And several parking fines. But who didn’t?
“I didn’t realize I was in there so long,” she muttered.
“I’ll drive you home,” he told her.
“But didn’t you drive here?” She glanced around and spotted his motorbike. “You can’t leave your bike here.”
His bike was his baby. No way would he leave it here overnight. Especially not in this neighborhood.
“It will be fine. I’ll get Sampson to drop me back here.”
“Don’t be silly. I can drive.”
“You sure?”
“Of course. Stop worrying so much. We’re twenty minutes from home.”
“You don’t have the best night vision.”
“I’ll be fine. And there are plenty of streetlights.”
Isaiah eyed her for a long moment.
“I’m fine. Go!”
Immy turned to open her door and he reached over. For a moment, she thought he was going to press the door closed, but instead he opened it and helped her in.
“Drive carefully, I’ll be right behind you. Use the garage.”
Immy nodded. She got into her car and set off.
There was actually plenty of light; the city didn’t really get that dark. So she didn’t know why Isaiah was fussing.
Parking in the garage, she reached for her belt to unbuckle it. Suddenly, her door flew open and she let out a scream loud enough to scare the neighbors.
“Fuck! Immy, what is it? What’s wrong? What’s happened?” Jenner asked frantically.
Reaching in, he grabbed her and drew her out into his arms. Then he was rushing inside with her.
“What is it? What’s happened?” Sampson snapped.
“Immy? What’s going on? Why are you carrying her?” Abe asked.
Dear Lord.
“I don’t know. I opened her car door and she started screaming,” Jenner said. “I think something has happened.”
“The only thing that happened is that you scared me half to death,” she cried. “Put me down.”
“What? No.”
“Jenner, put me down,” she said in a firm voice.
