Chapter 5: Taboo But Tempting
"We need to stop the car and let the engine cool down for a bit." Vicky said before parking the car on the side of the road.
As she left the car and opened the bonnet to let the engine cool better, Cat moved in my lap and muttered, "We are stopping?"
She then opened the door and calmly stepped out.
Seeing this, I realized—Cat wasn't sleeping like I believed but was just pretending to.
Ba-Dum!
My eyes widened in shock, and my heart rate increased—I became anxious.
'She most definitely felt that.' I thought and had the urge to pull out my hair, 'What am I going to do now? Will she think I am some kind of monster?'
For a few moments, my mind was a mess before I took a deep breath and calmed down.
'Let's not overthink. She is acting as though she hadn't noticed it. I shouldn't behave strangely either and make it worse for us.' I decided before stepping out of the car.
"Um, Ryan, can you help me out?" Felicity asked. With my mom sitting by the window, she wasn't able to get out of the car.
Maybe it was because three Fire Avoidance Pearls were activated until a while ago, or maybe it was due to all windows being lowered, or maybe the mixture of both; the inside of the car wasn't as hot.
