I could even feel the tension radiating off of Jo.

We all heard it—the unmistakable sound of an engine purring to life.

Oh shit.

Chloe’s face lit up with a grin. “This is going to be good.”

Jo, on the other hand, shook her head, already dismissing whatever was coming.

“I don’t need a car,” she muttered, though I knew damn well that she did.

Then, the car rolled out of the container and for a moment, Jo’s whole demeanor changed. It was like watching a stone wall crumble into dust. Some odd hissing sound left her. Then, her eyes widened and she looked like she was about to cry, pass out, and jump up and down in joy all at the same time.

What the fuck?

The man parked the car close to us and left it.

Dima whistled.

Jo shifted her weight from side to side as she tried to contain herself, but it was no use.

Well. . .she likes the car.

I glanced at it, thinking the vehicle was cool. Granted, I wasn’t into cars like she was. All I ever wanted was for a vehicle to get me from point A to point B. I could care less about the color and model.

Regardless, I still checked this one out.

The car was a deep, vibrant blue, a shade so rich it seemed to shimmer under the sunlight, as if the paint itself were infused with liquid sapphire.

The sleek lines of the car’s body curved gracefully from the front grille to the rear.

The polish was flawless.

It had a convertible top, currently off, allowing the sun to highlight the luxurious interior. The contrast between the deep blue exterior and the soft, cream-colored leather seats inside was striking.

The dashboard had all types of electric shit going on with it. I swore it could have been right out of a spaceship.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to start the damn thing.

Even the wheels were a work of art. The polished silver rims sparkled with these blue ghost symbols on them.

A large sparkling P was at the center of every wheel.

What’s the P for?

“So dope.” Chloe bobbed her head. “You got a blue car, Jo.”

Jo shot her a look. “That’s not just a blue car. That’s a classic.”

I quirked my brows and noticed Jo’s hands shaking at her sides.

“In fact. . .” Jo struggled to contain herself. “That’s the Blue Fury.”

Chloe looked at her like she was crazy. “The Blue what?”

TT responded for Jo, “It’s the car from the movie, Blue Phantom.”

Chloe widened her eyes and took out her phone. “That’s righteous. I’ve got to get a selfie by it.”
