Eric quickly shut the car door and ducked out of sight.
Inside, Sophia instantly went limp, playing the part of someone on the brink of collapse.
She sprawled across the seat just as Lucas rushed over.
"Sophia? Sophia?"
The moment he opened the door, panic flickered in his eyes.
"Sophia!"
She didn't move. Lucas scooped her into his arms, only for Sophia to suddenly tighten her grip and snap her eyes open.
"Not giving me trouble anymore, huh?"
There was mischief dancing in her gaze, and only then did Lucas realize—he'd been tricked.
"And your claustrophobia?"
"Claus…what?"
The fire in Lucas's eyes flared hotter.
Her mind raced, then she clutched her head dramatically. "Oh no, I feel so dizzy… I can't breathe!"
Lucas loosened his hold. She shrieked and immediately threw her arms tighter around him.
"What are you trying to do? Murder me?!"
