It was a hot Australian summer day. I rested my feet up on the dashboard, smoothing out the lines of my black and white polka dot skirt. I adjusted the strap of my peach-coloured singlet top, while I squinted out the driver window at the airport parking lot.
I heard footsteps approach my car.
“Hello, there. I was wondering how much it is to get to the city?”
I looked across, out the window of the passenger seat with a big smile towards the man leaning down, lowering his sunglasses. He was here!
“Robbie!”
I quickly got out the driver side and came around the back of the car. I stood up on my toes and gave him a hug. He kissed my cheek and wrapped his arms around me, laughing.
“Woah, lady. Does that mean you’ll take me?”
I giggled. “Of course, and, for you, it’s free.”
“Why, thank you,” he smiled, giving my butt a quick pat.
