Jeremy finally let her hand go when they got into the car. She quickly pulled the safety belt before he could help her.
He sighed. He could sense her uneasiness having to spend more time with him alone. He walked to the driver seat and started the engine. He adjusted the temperature and glanced at her.
She was staring outside the window silently, ignoring him.
He sighed again. With a flick of a finger, he chose a CD and pushed it into the CD slot for the radio. Soon enough a ballad love song filling the whole car.
He reversed the car and then changed the gear to head toward the exit. He glanced again at Ryn. Again, she did not bestow him with a look. It seemed like she was determined to treat him like a stranger, just a plain driver.
It took them almost an hour to reach the mansion and along the way only the music filling the surrounding. It was, truthfully, an hour full of awkwardness.
And he was miserable inside.
