To be fair, Alex did tell her that the exit was co up What he didn't say was how soon or which way She was in the wrong lane and couldn't get over fast enough He looked at her as if she had done it deliberately

"I told you that you needed to be in the right turn lane"

"No, you said the turn was coured you knew you had to be in the right lane"

She took a deep breath and let it out "Nohat?"

"Take the next exit…to the right" He picked up the ured out before we left"

"I'm sorry I wasn't prepared for this kind of traffic I'm not used to so many lanes"

He nodded "I understand, but if you want ate, you'll have to pay attention"
