Below is my snippet from my current WIP, Zirconya II: Reunion of the Sages, sequel to Zirconya: The Sage of Aluh'Nehn which released this last December!
Check it out here: www.Zirconya.com
All right! Here goes!
Background info: Tanis is the man driving. He'd just finished fighting off some demons that were coming after Caelum and he's a little less than happy about it. For those of you who don't know anything about the story, Caelum is a Sage (deity-like figure) from Zirconya. In this book (book II), she's on her way home to Zirconya to get trained and placed as an official Sage among her three "sister Sages." Tanis and Caelum, at this point, have not known each other for too long.

He turned and hurried to the car, then hit the gas. The tires screeched and the pungent smell of burned rubber seeped into the car.
“Bloody ridiculous!” He shouted. “I can't lie down for five minutes!”
Caelum stared at him dumbfounded. “Are you blaming me?”
“It is your fault, you stupid, stupid girl! If not for you, I wouldn't have to be here. I could be laying back in my flat watching my seventy-inch-”
“You're joking,” she snapped back. She couldn't help it anymore. This man was a complete moron. “How in the world do you even have any of that? How long have you been in Earth?”
“That is none of your business!”
“I'll make it my business if you accuse me of --”
Their shouting came to an abrupt stop when red and blue lights filled the car. Caelum turned in her seat and nearly cursed at the sight of a police car trailing behind them.
“You've got to be kidding me,” Tanis groaned as he slapped the steering wheel.
Caelum crossed her arms and let out a breath that turned to a gasp when he pressed on the acceleration.
“Tanis, what are you doing?” She shrieked. “We're not running from the cops!”
She received nothing but a cold-shoulder in response. She couldn't believe it. Before twenty, she was going to be in jail, marked a criminal for the rest of her life.
“Your life isn't here,” Tanis said with a growl.
Caelum frowned. He could hear some of her thoughts. The liar. She didn't like it.
