Tanis tensed up again when Sinead was asked to leave the car. No matter how cool and calm Sinead was being about the entire situation, Tanis still couldn’t help but feel deeply anxious about the entire situation. She knew just how little it would take for this situation to spiral completely out of control and it seemed that it was moving that way when the officer pointed a flashlight at her and asked her to leave the car as well.<br/>Tanis had only barely lifted her hands from the dashboard, intent on moving slowly but not provocatively so, to unbuckle her seatbelt, when Sinead’s stern voice broke through the air.<br/>It was clear that the statement surprised both the officer and maybe even Sinead as well. It sent a shiver down Tanis’ spine, uncertain how she had never managed to catch up on how assertive Sinead was, or maybe it was just not a side of her that had been revealed before.<br/>She stayed seated, feeling uneasy but more than anything else trusting Sinead to get them properly through this situation.
