Pax began recounting his first encounter with Chloe, describing every detail as if he were reliving that exact moment.

On the other hand, Connor felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He had no idea Chloe had experienced a robbery while in Paris.

At that moment, I felt my heart stop beating..." "Do you know what that feels like?" Pax leaned in closer, asking Connor.
With a stern look, Connor responded, "No, I don't. I just know that if your heart stops beating, you're dead." Pax scoffed, "Uncle Connor, you might be a genius in business, but you don't understand love." Pax was drunk.

"Chloe, you look so beautiful when you smile..." Connor exited the highway, arriving at a crossroad, and sharply turned the steering wheel to the left.
In the back seat, Pax was suddenly thrown to the right, his head smacking against the car window.
Even in his sleep, Pax frowned briefly, then it seemed he had drifted back into a pleasant dream. "Chloe, can I kiss you..." Bang! Connor slammed on the brakes, and Pax rolled right off the back seat onto the floor.
