"Sorry, Alex... I promise I won't text you again."
After she answered him calmly, Aurora turned her gaze back to the road ahead, remaining silent the entire way, just like him, who was driving in silence.
The atmosphere was too quiet. Almost eerie. After sitting beside him for a few more minutes, she gradually began to feel uncomfortable.
Her gaze unintentionally fell on the music player. She felt the urge to play some music, but once again, she worried he might sulk.
However, after gazing at the street ahead for a few more minutes, Aurora suddenly felt like lightning struck her. She knew where this car was headed: Pine Hill.
'No way! Alex wanted to visit his parents' house?' Aurora's hands tightened around her bag. She felt anxious about meeting her father and Alex's parents.
'Wait, Alvin said my dad isn't home, right? He's on leave? Yes, yes... he is...' Aurora felt somewhat relieved knowing she wouldn't have to see her father.
