Jessica lifted her hand to grasp the door handle and looked at Will, who was sleeping soundly in the car seat. She then paused, her palm resting on the handle, as a cold smile spread across her lips.
Letting go of the front door, Jessica reached to open the rear door, and as she tried to slip into the car, her foot caught on the blanket lying on the ground, and she almost stumbled.
Lowering her face, Jessica reached down to pick up the blanket piled at her feet and glanced at Will, who was still wearing only his suit jacket and sleeping soundly.

At least the kid had a bit of humanity, knowing to cover her with the blanket.
But that alone wouldn't earn her forgiveness.
Sliding into the back seat, Jessica looked around but didn't find any ropes or anything similar. Noticing Will's tie, which he had pulled off and put aside, her eyes lit up. She reached for his tie and cautiously pulled his hands forward, binding them tightly with it.
