He was sure that McKayla hadn't seen the red convertible. It was a big ask to expect someone to spot something reflecting off a storefront's glass like that. He had only seen it because he was looking for it. Anytime he went out now he was at least subconsciously watching and waiting for the red convertible to swing on by.

McKayla on the other hand was wondering why Johnny wasn't taking about the car. That had been the one, right? she had thought. But she dared not bring it up.
