Ned was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where are you?"
Sophie glanced back at the bustling alley she had just passed through. She wasn't familiar with this area, but she had an idea. "Wait a second, I'll send you my location. Come find me, okay?"
"Got it." He hung up.
Sophie stood at the street corner waiting for him. When he arrived, she would tell him the decision she had made last night.
Ten minutes later, Ned pulled up nearby. He spotted Sophie at the corner.
"I'm really busy today. Why did you insist on meeting here?" He drove up beside her. "Get in the car; it's hard to park here."
"There's a parking lot just ahead." Sophie had no intention of getting in. Ned glanced at her, turned the steering wheel, and drove into the parking lot.
When he got out, Sophie walked over, took his hand without a word, and led him toward an alley.
"Where are we going?" Ned stared at the hand she was holding for a long moment before asking.
