The interlude of encountering Jillian Carter halfway there had Jane Sampson's mood soaring all the way. Along the way, inside the car was filled with her humming tunes, while James Black, sitting by her side, actually listened with great interest to the new song lyrics she had created to specially mock Jillian Carter.
At that time, James Black thought, Jane Sampson didn't win the Best New Lyricist at that day's awards ceremony, and it was indeed unfair to her.
Too bad, Jillian Carter couldn't hear.
Otherwise, she would have been even happier.
Jane Sampson's good mood lasted until the car stopped again, then abruptly came to a halt.
At the guard team's doorway, James Black halted the car, presented his ID for the routine examination, while Jane Sampson rolled down the window and looked ahead, then turned to gaze at James Black.
"I want to go home! Home! I don't want to go to the guard team!" Jane Sampson protested.
