Alexis casually hummed.
âFrom time to time.

Leonel turned to her and asked softly, âEver picked up guys there?â
Alexis gestured for him to start driving, and after a brief pause, she shot back.

Leonel reached for the radio and put on a song.
After a while, he broke the silence.
âDo you have someone special in your life now?â
Alexis replied lazily, âNo.

Now he asked if she was seeing someone else.
Alexis didnât try to decipher Leonelâs thoughts.
