Chapter 29: Frustrated
Only the sound of the driving car could be heard, my mind still played what happened in the mall like a movie, It took every bit of me not to look back because I was afraid if I did I would go to Dace, I knew what I did was the right thing, it all falls down to me to make a choice so that everything would calm down.
My eyes darted to Owen, elbow at the edge of the window, his hand against his head as he made a turn to the next block, the wheels spinning.
"What was that back there Owen?" I asked, finally breaking an hour of silence. He sighed deeply as I watched his chest rising gently and then downwards, I noticed just right there how built he must be, even on his long sleeve checkered shirt he wore I could still tell, he allowed the arms to roll up, even at the night light I got a glimpse of his tan smooth skin, everyone seemed beautiful in this town.
"I’m sorry if I scared you, I didn’t mean to" he faces me before diverting his eyes back to the road.
"It was a small misunderstanding, Owen," I said as my gaze leveled my fingers playing with a loose thread from my bag. "It went too far" I faced him and I noticed as his body tensed at my words.
"What happened there... gotta be something deep"
He sighed. "Emma"
"Is there something going on with the Devereaux’s?"
"Emma, don’t-"
