There was a coldness to her voice. It kind of freaked me out.

“Well,” I said, trying to be helpful, “why don’t you move into—”

“Listen,” I said, trying to be diplomatic, “maybe we got off to a bad start.”

All I got was silence from her. I looked around. Such a nice dash. And those controls, so well designed. And a flappy-paddle gearbox. What technology!

“It’s a nice set of wheels you got here,” I said. “You have real good taste in automobiles.”

Vivian looked over. “You brought it home without telling me. I wanted a Prius.”
