Anna Green's eyes were red-rimmed, looking at the man who was driving at breakneck speed with a blend of grievance and pity.
The car seemed to fly past the trees and grass, and Anna felt her heart about to leap out of her throat.
His speed was too fast, too frightening...
"Alex, slow down, I'm scared," Anna said, her voice trembling.
