Back then I half knew he was teasing but now, when I am stuck in awful traffic, I gently graze the button and tell myself it's always there for me in case I need to deploy it as a very last resort.

那时我差不多就知道他在逗我玩，但是现在，当我受困于糟糕的交通时，我会轻轻蹭那个按钮，告诉自己这个按钮一直都在，就算有什么万一，我也有它作为最终手段。

我飞快地跑到市场，把床单铺在客人的床上，并把电视调好，录下了勇士队的比赛，这样即使交通很糟糕，他也不会错过上半场了。
