Chapter 624: Drive
Autumn and Gabe drove back in comfortable silence after the tiring day. Autumn sighed. The silence was so peaceful that she almost wanted to doze off. But there was one thing that she couldn’t get out of her mind. And it was that wedding dress. They’d had a lot of fun making Ava try all those pretty lace and satin gowns. But throughout, her mind had been on the dress she’d seen outside. Wanting to take one more look at it.
That was foolsih of her, she knew. What use was a wedding dress to her? She was already married. And even when she’d been thinking of marrying Pierce, she had not felt the need for a dress. Unexpectedly, she had not even been able to take another glance at that beauty when they returned. The dress had been sold!
Leaning her head against the window, she closed her eyes and sighed again as she closed her eyes, almost dreaming of trying that dress on... Before she could doze off, however, her hand was caught by his and she looked at him in surprise.
He threw her a look with raised brows and she looked down, at their hands. He was actually challenging her to take her hand away... but she liked this... so instead of pulling her hand, she folder her fingers so that she was holding his hand too. "Why are you sighing so much?" Gabe finally asked her.
Autumn coloured at that and quickly answered," Its nothing. I’m just too sleepy."
She saw the concerned look he sent her but turned away, lest he realize that she was not being totally honest.
Gabe considered her for a moment before making a decision. He pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. The sudden silence was almost deafening.
"What are you doing? What happened? Why did you stop?"
Gabe unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over her, his face inches from hers. Autumn’s heart skipped a beat, her breath catching in her throat. Autumn blinked. Did he suddenly stop in the middle of the road to kiss her? The thought was enough for the tension to thinken between them. Her pulse quickened and her body reacted instinctively, making her eyes flutter close.
