PART 2 · LESSON 14 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Back at the Driving School

Thursday the sixteenth of March 2028, the fourteenth lesson of this level. Two in the afternoon, the driving school near the old studio, and the instructor from October 2026, who remembers Emma, her automatic car and the stop sign she missed. Two hours a year and a half ago, so everything starts again from zero, the theory test first and the hours next, and a first lesson at once, a hill start on the slopes, a stall, and a crossroads where the priority is to the right. Say do you remember it, with the little word for of it in the middle, and I did two of them, a year and a half ago.

THE STORY

Thursday the sixteenth of March 2028, two in the afternoon, a little street near Emma's old studio, a week after the joint account. The driving school, two cars painted on the window, and behind the desk the instructor of the little white car, who remembers her. A sign-up, the theory test first and the hours next, and a first lesson straight away on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, a hill start, a stall, and a crossroads where the priority is to the right. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
