Three’s a Crowd

I was going on a road trip with my boyfriend, Phillips, but when I got into the passenger seat, I realized there was a girl already sitting in the back.

Phillips smiled and explained, "This is Penny. She’s heading the same way for the weekend, so I thought we’d keep each other company."

Penny leaned forward and flashed me a sweet smile. "Don't worry, Susan, I won't get in your way. I'm just carpooling to save some cash."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and said nothing.
