“She might be your flancee now, but she’s been my close friend for a long time. You can do your thing while I do mine. We shouldn’t get in each other’s way.”
Jim then sensed Bonnie’s glance, signaling him to leave. Things could take an unexpected turn if he stayed any longer, and he might end up exposing his identity. Jim said, “Oh, look at the time. I should be going.”
“Sure. Take it easy and stay safe.”
Then, both of them recalled the car and looked at it simultaneously.
‘Uh, it doesn’t look like I can drive it away.‘
Floyd looked at Jim admiringly and said, “I’ll call a mechanic to fix your car, Master Jim. He’ll fix it before you know it.”
Bonnie approached the car and opened its hood. “It’s not that severe. You can save yourself the trouble of calling a mechanic. I know how to fix it.”
“You know how to fix cars too?” Ivor and Jim questioned her simultaneously.
Bonnie turned and nodded. “My cars used to have plenty of hiccups back in my racing days. It broke down on a hill, and there was no one within a fifty–mile radius. It was so troublesome to find a
mechanic, so I learned how to fix my cars myself.”
‘She races cars, too?!‘
Ivor was pleasantly surprised. It turned out they had a shared hobby. Not only did he love it, but it was one of his favorite ways to unwind himself. Ever so often, he’d ask Ged and the others for a race or a

“Ahem…” Jim noticed Ivor and Floyd looking at him curiously. The former cleared his throat and added, “I meant, how am I supposed to answer to your parents?”
Ivor’s expression turned solemn, but he said nothing.
Meanwhile, Jim changed the topic and awkwardly got into the driver’s seat. “You seriously got it fixed in just a minute? Let me see. Would you look at that?! You really did fix it. Just how talented are you?”
“You’re too kind. It was just a minor issue.” Bonnie stole a glance at Ivor and noticed nothing strange

about his expression. Still, it was hard to tell if he was suspicious.
“Well, then. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Sure. See you!” Bonnie waved at Jim before turning and looking at Ivor. “Come on, let’s go home.” “Hold on,” Ivor said as he removed Bonnie’s coat and put his coat on her.
