"Did I ever say you couldn't meet him?" He shook his head helplessly, "Where is he? I'll take you there."
Sophie Smith was initially unresponsive, just staring at him blankly.
"I said, where is he now? I'll take you to meet him." He repeated patiently.
"Oh, that school, the café in the east area of the school, you turn around here and go straight, and you'll see..." she quickly added, fearing he might change his mind.
He turned the car around and drove to the location she mentioned.
He parked the car steadily in a spot not far from the café and was just about to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out when she stopped him with her voice.
"Wait for me in the car, I'll be back soon," she said seriously.
She did this without much confidence, afraid he would get angry.
After hearing her words, his hand went back from the seatbelt.
"I'll give you only thirty minutes, if you're not out by then, I'll come in to find you."
Sophie knew this was already his biggest concession.
