Realizing she wasn't joking, Charles promptly relented. To spare his ear, he hurriedly agreed, "Okay, okay. I'll do it." Only then did Marsha loosen her hold, emit a frosty snort, and proceed to open the car door.
"Con," she said, already exiting the vehicle.
Charles rubbed his ear intensely after Marsha pinched it. He clenched his jaw, thinking that she was way too rough. Right now, though, he was utterly worn out. The journey from Marsha's house to Charles' was long. It would take more than an hour and a half by car and he was barely managing to stay awake.
