Cyndi *turning around to Wallace*: Are you coming? Because I wouldn’t know which one is your car, Mr. Huo.
Wallace *walking up to where she’s standing*: Wallace, not Mr. Huo. How many times do I have to remind you? *smiling*
They begin to walk side by side to Wallace’s car.
Cyndi: I was just teasing you. *smiling sweetly*
Wallace smiles at her light-hearted nature.
Wallace opens the passenger side door for Cyndi to get in before he circles around to the other side to get in. He pulls out into the streets before they talk again.
Cyndi *pressing the button on her side to let the window down*: I just love the feel of night air.
Wallace *doing the same with his right hand*: Really? Me too. *smiling* Alice and I used to hide in this fields when we were little. We waited until the night came and lay on the grasses, looking at the stars.
Cyndi: That’s nice. I wish I know a field like that. It would be wonderful to just lie under a sky full of stars.
Wallace *thinking to himself*: Especially with you. *smiling*
Cyndi *looking over at Wallace*: What are you smiling about?
Wallace: I’m just trying to imagine what it would be like to do that now.
Cyndi smiles and turns to her side of the car, looking outside the window and feeling the night air.
They enjoy the night air in that way in silence for half of the way, except when Cyndi hasto tell him where to turn.
As the wind’s blowing in his face, Wallace feels that he’s free like a kite yet there’s still a string attached to pull him back to earth. A string that he used to hate when he thinks of himself as a kite. However, at that moment, he feels happy to know that that string is Cyndi. Unknowingly, he reaches over with his left hand to grab hold on Cyndi’s right hand.
Cyndi, surprised at his action, turns from the window and looks down at Wallace’s hand on hers.
Wallace snaps back to reality, withdrawing his hand.
Wallace *steals a quick glance at her*: I’m sorry. I was just thinking about something.
Cyndi *smiling*: It’s ok.
The drive the rest of the way remains quiet.
Cyndi gets out of the car when Wallace parks right in front of her apartment complex.
Cyndi *walking to his side*: Thanks for the ride.
Wallace: Anytime.
Cyndi: I’ll see you tomorrow at work maybe?
Wallace smiles and waves as she starts to walk toward her apartment. He watches as she disappears inside her door before driving out of the parking lot and into the streets.
