The author uses a plot device to increase tension. The contrasting scenes — one of lighthearted conversation in the red car and the other of an unresolved argument about the driver — heighten the emotional stakes. This juxtaposition creates tension as the characters' unresolved conflict looms over the interaction, suggesting potential confrontation or complications ahead.
