The vehicle was placed in park, and Amira messed around with the screen momentarily. She had time before Damien showed up; his text message from a couple of minutes earlier let her know he would be around 15 minutes late. In the background, [i]In the Air Tonight[/I] played from the speakers as covered by Kelly Sweet. Once her hands were free, she reached for the stainless steel bottle on the cup holder filled to the brim with orange and pineapple juice. She'd already had her bagel back home before she left, but now she was thirsty.

The sound from the window directly next to her startled the young girl. She quickly looked to the side, noticing a police uniform before recognizing the man in it. 

[color=FA3D75]"Carl! You scared me half to death!"[/color] she greeted him after lowering the window. 

He laughed in response, leaning his arm on the doorframe. "Well, your car ain't hard to miss around here. You tutoring again?"

[color=FA3D75]"Yeah. Trust me, I'd be at home otherwise."[/color]

"Speaking of, tell your parents they still owe Linda and I that dinner."

[color=FA3D75]"Glad she's recovering quickly. Little Robert must be anxious for her to get home."[/color]

"Oh, you've no idea."

The man went on, telling her about his temporary arrangements at home while his wife was in the hospital recovering from an accident. From the sounds of it, he was having some difficulties raising their son on his own. Amira noticed the tiredness in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel bad for the man. No one deserved to have their partner be on the brink of death over some carelessness driving, but unfortunately that's what had happened to Carl and his wife. Though on a positive note, she was recovering quite nicely. 

"Sorry, I tend to ramble on these days to anyone that'll listen. I'll let you get to your studies." He slapped the roof of her car twice before walking off to his patrol vehicle which she saw parked some distance away.

[color=FA3D75]"See you later."[/color]

Amira finally took a sip of juice before turning off her car and gathering her belongings to go into the library.
