Writing: Moment in Time - Want A Lift?

With emotion veiled behind vapid smiles, she accepted a ride to her car. Pain and troubles seen and understood, but unspoken. The world flows by the window, taking her away from a source of pain that only she could ever truly understand.

A short minute long drive seems to bring time to a halt. With an attempt to help accepted, she graciously thanked her driver and stepped away from the car. The driver, while never looking back as he pulled away, did not have to. In his mind, worry and concern took control, forcing him to forget his petty problems.

He will never know if he helped, but that was never his concern. His concern was with that young lady in her car who, with buried emotions, drives away.
