Take the Ride

As you said, you were tired and you would rather take a ride with this sweet, harmless old man than walk the distance.

You sat down in his car in the backseat, taking up a whole seat and thanking the man.

"No problem, dear. I always know when someone needs a ride somewhere, now where to?" You give him directions to your home where your mother wouldn't be yet and he nodded.

As the soft roar of the engine is heard you drift asleep, hoping when you woke up you'd be at home.
