Kelsey pulls out her phone.  “I have time.  I can walk from here.  It’s not that far.”

Stephanie slows as she comes to a four-way stop sign—one of three, and this is supposed to be a shortcut—and, once she determines no other cars are nearby, she rolls on through the crosswalk and accelerates.

“Seriously, Mom, I can walk.  It won’t take me long.”

She soon comes to the second stop sign.
