Christina begins to tap her fingers idly on the door panel of the car, drumming an irregular staccato rhythm with her nails. You glance over, careful not to take your eyes off the road for longer than a moment, and see the familiar look in her eyes once again: she no longer remembers why she's in the car with you.
