"Ready," said Myles after he put away the credit card slip from the bill.

Sue nodded with a slight smile and followed Myles to his car. Noticing that she wasn't looking at him, Myles softly touched her elbow as he opened the car door for her. "Do you mind if I ask how you would sign ready?" he said with an impish grin.

Her eyes brightened at his desire to learn. "I don't mind at all," she replied, and then showed him to make a 'R' and shake it slightly in front of him.

On the way to the concert hall, the two barely spoke. Myles wondered why Sue had suddenly become so quiet. His inner fear had reared its ugly head and began to eat away. "Sue, why are you so quiet? Did I say or do something to offend you?" Myles asked as he glanced her way, trying to keep his eyes on the road and continue to drive.

Several minutes passed, yet Sue still hadn't replied to his question. Well, Leland, you obviously aren't that smart after all. It's apparent she doesn't even know you spoke. Myles softly sighed to himself and then gently laid his hand on her shoulder, startling her for a brief moment. "I'm sorry," he began. "I didn't…"

"It's okay," she said, taking a soft breath. "I don't think I've ever been in a car with you after dark, so I guess I should tell you…" She paused for a moment. "I can't see a thing you're saying. We need a flashlight, or you need to turn the overhead light on."

They stopped at a light, and the sight of his arm dropping from the overhead light caught her attention; she turned her eyes to his lips.

"Then how did you—?" he said, looking a bit bewildered.

"When you put your hand on my shoulder, I figured you had said something to me, and since I didn't answer… That's why you put your hand on my shoulder, to get my attention, right?"

Myles' brows drew together as he nodded slowly.

"It's much different talking to me at night. I can't see your lips unless there is enough light to make out their movement. I'm sorry; I shouldn't have forgotten to tell you. It just didn't cross my mind." Sue explained. "It's as much my fault."

"And I'm sorry I didn't think about driving in the dark. So we're even." The light turned green, and he started driving again. Smiling at her, his curiosity again got the better of him. "You and Jack don't have this trouble when you're in the car with him at night?"

Grinning, she simply replied. "No."

"Mind if I ask why not?"

"After a similar incident like this with Jack, he installed a map light for us to use. It gives off just enough light so I can see what he's saying without distracting him from the road," Sue explained, and caught Myles chuckling. "You find that funny?" she asked, confused by his reaction.

A moment later he composed himself. "Oh, no. It's not that at all." Taking a second, as another chuckle escaped his lips, he explained. "When you mentioned the map light, I just recalled Bobby grilling Jack on why he had installed a map light in his car, since he never uses a map."

It took a moment for his words to register with her; but once they did, she clearly understood and they both shared a friendly laugh together.
