ETHAN
I didn't.
MC
Oh...
ETHAN
Don't let the cab driver wait. They are going to charge you for that.
NARRATOR
His expression has softened, and you can see a hint of a smirk appear at the corner of his lips.
MC
Thank you for saving me, Ethan. I would have had to walk home penniless for an hour.
ETHAN
No problem. Just avoid roaming this neighborhood alone at night in the future.

Thank you, sir. I would have had to walk home penniless for an hour.

MC
Will do.
NARRATOR
With a warm smile on your face, you wave the kind stranger goodbye and drive off in the cab while watching the tall, muscled figure slide behind the corner into one of those disreputable, smoke-filled night bars.

(Is he just going to leave as if nothing has happened? What should I do?)

MC
Dad, I'm glad you changed your mind about Aaron.
FATHER
I did not change my mind, MC, but I trust you and know you will be able to make your own judgments.
MC
Thank you, dad.
FATHER
Now keep packing; I will be right back.

MC
I can't believe daddy is still angry with me because of the trip with Aaron.
MOTHER
You were rude to him, MC. We've taught you better.
MC
I know, and I'm sorry. I felt provoked.
MOTHER
Don't worry, he'll come round.

MOTHER
Oh, come on, hurry up, or you'll miss your flight to Mexico.
CHANTAL
How many swimsuits have you packed?
MC
Enough, I hope.
CHANTAL
Oh, I am so jealous. I've heard Cancun is marvelous in March.
CHANTAL
Take a lot of photos and don't forget to buy me a souvenir!
MC
Will do, Chantal. I will get you the first thing I see when I get there.
CHANTAL
Oh my, I hope it's not a sea urchin.
NARRATOR
You and your mom laugh at Chantal's joke when your father appears at the doorway.
FATHER
Here, MC, this is for you.
MC
Dad, it's a lot of money!
FATHER
I know your boyfriend is rich, but I don't want you to feel obliged to do anything because he is paying for your trip.
