He wasn’t upset at all in fact there was a smile on his his face but he knew that behavior from her. It was the behavior that made him hold his feelings in when he was upset.
Lillian grinned and leaned back in her seat. This would be fun.
He pulled up next to a row of other cars and rolled his window down. “Mr. Balthazar came back eh?” Baldie spat. “And he brought his little girl. What a shame if she’d get hurt in her first race back,” he meant Darren’s car, not Lillian.
Lillian rolled her eyes. She knew he wasn't referring to her the moment he had said back. Lillian was half tempted to flip the bald guy off.

He wouldn't hurt me. He promised. She forced her hands to stop but didn't say anything. She loved him but sometimes he really scared her.
“Of course. Let’s go,”
She smiled and took his hand to let him lead.

Ryan looked back at her, “Are you okay, babe?”
“Of course. Let’s go,”
She smiled and took his hand to let him lead.
He chuckled and walked out to his car with her.

Darren chuckled. “What are you betting. Finally gonna man up and bet that car of yours?”
“I’ll bet mine when you bet yours, until then, straight cash only pal,” Baldie proclaimed.
“Well then let’s be men here. Bet the cars,”
“Of course. Let’s go,”
She smiled and took his hand to let him lead.
He chuckled and walked out to his car with her.
"What's so funny?" she asked, looking at him curiously.
“Nothing’s funny,” he turned back and grinned.
"You Americans are strange," she sighed, shaking her head.
“And you French girls are so cute,” he pulled her into his arms and brought his smile closer to hers.
"Eep!" she squeaked without meaning to, turning a pale rouge.

Ryan looked back at her, “Are you okay, babe?”
She glanced up quickly. "What? Yeah, I'm fine."
Darren chuckled. “What are you betting. Finally gonna man up and bet that car of yours?”
“I’ll bet mine when you bet yours, until then, straight cash only pal,” Baldie proclaimed.
“Well then let’s be men here. Bet the cars,”
Lillian looked over at Darren. He wasn’t going to be stupid to bet his child. Even if the other guy was betting his. She didn’t say anything since this wasn’t her choice.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss her cheek.

“Well then let’s be men here. Bet the cars,”Lillian looked over at Darren. He wasn’t going to be stupid to bet his child. Even if the other guy was betting his. She didn’t say anything since this wasn’t her choice.
“So bet the car?”
“Yeah,” Darren agreed. “Bet the car. You don’t have a chance in hell. I’ve seen what’s under your hood.”
"Eep!" she squeaked without meaning to, turning a pale rouge.
Cooper grinned “scared ya?”
She felt her stomach knot up. She hated keeping this from him but she didn't want to deal with it right now.
Ryan wasn’t even sure he cared about whatever she was holding from him. He knew there had to be something but it was fine.
"Eep!" she squeaked without meaning to, turning a pale rouge.
Cooper grinned “scared ya?”
"A little," she replied softly.
Cooper couldn’t help but laugh. “Are ya gonna make it?”
Ryan wasn’t even sure he cared about whatever she was holding from him. He knew there had to be something but it was fine.
She smiled a little. "What now?"
“I dunno. What now? I think we or at least, I should spend some time trying to figure out who the kanima is and who controls it,”
Darren chuckled. “What are you betting. Finally gonna man up and bet that car of yours?”
“I’ll bet mine when you bet yours, until then, straight cash only pal,” Baldie proclaimed.

“Yeah,” Darren agreed. “Bet the car. You don’t have a chance in hell. I’ve seen what’s under your hood.”
Lillian sighed and rested her head in her hands shaking it slightly. She was dating an idiot. She looked over at him, “Are you sure babe?”
“I dunno. What now? I think we or at least, I should spend some time trying to figure out who the kanima is and who controls it,”
"Yeah that'd be the smart thing to do."

“I don’t lose,” Darren rolled his window up and pulled the computer in.
“I dunno. What now? I think we or at least, I should spend some time trying to figure out who the kanima is and who controls it,”
"Yeah that'd be the smart thing to do."
“And we’re making smart decisions,”
Lillian gave him a smile, "Of course you don't, but do you really need his car?"
“His car? Yeah I’ll take the parts. That’s how I built my car. Taking other people’s im these races and building it. I get money or I sold my old car for anything extra,”
"That makes sense. Your car is probably nothing like the original you bought in the first place."
