On the way to take Lucas Quinn back to school.
Charlotte Allison asked if he had ever met the curator before.
Lucas Quinn denied it, and she didn't press further.
After dropping him off at school, before getting out of the car, he gently cupped her face and lightly touched her lips, saying, "Be careful on your way back."
Actually, she understood that beneath his words, there were some thoughts he wanted to express but didn't.
Lucas Quinn stood by the car, insisting on watching her car until it disappeared from sight.
Driving out of the school gate, pulling over to the side of the road, Charlotte Allison rolled down the window and slowly lit a cigarette.
It wasn't that she was concerned Lucas Quinn had things he was hiding from her; even in intimacy, there are things one keeps to oneself, much like she had so many things she couldn't tell Lucas Quinn.
It's just that the young man seemed to be troubled by this.
Because she cared, she couldn't bear to see him troubled.
