The Arrangement

45

Maya, still buzzing from the excitement of their pregnancy news, decides it's time to explore a new vehicle that would balance both her love for sports cars and their growing family's needs. She remembers Carina mentioning a desire for practicality in their next vehicle and thinks a Bentley Bentayga might be the perfect compromise.

Maya calls Carina, who is working on some files in her home office. "Hey, Carina, I was thinking... How about we check out the Bentley Bentayga today? I found a model that might be just right for us—sports car feel but with the space we'll need for the baby."

Carina, intrigued and excited, responds, "That sounds like a great idea! I've heard good things about the Bentayga. When should we head to the dealership?"

"Let's go this afternoon. I've made an appointment to test drive it," Maya suggests. "I think it could be a good fit, and I'd love to get your opinion."

"Perfect! I'll see you then," Carina replies, already looking forward to the test drive.

Later that day, Maya and Carina arrive at the dealership. The sleek Bentley Bentayga is parked in the showroom, gleaming under the lights. A friendly sales representative greets them and leads them to the car.

Maya and Carina inspect the Bentayga, admiring its luxurious design and spacious interior. Maya points out some of the features she's particularly excited about. "Look at this—heated seats, advanced safety features, and the infotainment system is top-notch. Plus, it has plenty of room for the baby."

Carina nods, impressed. "It does look amazing. I like that it combines both comfort and performance. Let's take it for a spin."

The sales representative hands them the keys, and they head out for the test drive. As they drive through the city, Maya is delighted by how the Bentayga handles—smooth and responsive, with just the right touch of sportiness.

Carina, sitting beside Maya, beams. "This is really nice, Maya. It feels luxurious but still has that sporty edge you love. And there's definitely enough room for a car seat and all the baby gear."

Maya grins, her excitement growing. "I think this might be the one. It's perfect for our new chapter."

Maya turns to Carina with a thoughtful expression. "So, if we have this amazing new car, what about the Escalade? Do you plan to drive it, or were you thinking of switching it up too?"

Carina considers this for a moment, glancing over at Maya with a smile. "Well, the Escalade has been great, especially with all the space, but it's a bit more than a daily driver for me. I've been thinking it might be nice to have something a bit sportier or more fun to drive for myself."

Maya nods, intrigued. "I totally get that. If you're thinking about getting something new for yourself, we could look at some options."

Carina's eyes light up at the idea. "I'd love that. Maybe something that's a bit more my style but still practical. I don't want to give up the Escalade, though. It's really handy for when we need to haul stuff or take long trips."

Maya grins, her excitement evident. "Sounds like a plan. Let's look at some options and see what catches your eye. We can start researching and set up some test drives."

Carina's enthusiasm matches Maya's. "That sounds perfect. I've always wanted to explore some new cars, and now seems like a great time to do it."

As Maya and Carina wrap up the paperwork for their new Bentley Bentayga, Maya's phone rings. It's the local dog rescue. The voice on the other end is a bit frantic but hopeful. "Hi, Maya. We've just had a pregnant dog brought in who's just had a litter of twelve puppies. We're a bit overwhelmed and could really use some help."
