sharp contrast
This summer, Dad and Mom planned a road trip across the US from my California home, but I didn't fancy the idea, feeling reluctant to leave my pet cat, Max. What's worse, Dad found and fixed a car leak before setting out yet got a bolt missing/lost.

Dad called the stores but none carried the bolt that fitted this old van. My soul silently rejoiced. And I had visions of diving at the mirror-like lake and taking a stroll leisurely with Max during the summer holiday. However, as I peeked in Dad's direction, I noticed him leaning against the van, his hands black with grease. The lost bolt dimmed his hope. To his dismay, his dream—The Trip of a Lifetime—was vanishing before his eyes. He could only manage a weak smile, which pierced my heart. A surge of guilt got the upper hand and I racked my brains to find out where the bolt could have been.
