"How are you getting back to your college?" Tristan asked, knowing Ava had come to the restaurant with Hardin.
"I'm taking a taxi," Ava replied.
"No need. I will drop you off," Tristan wanted to use this opportunity to drop her off. Actually, he was happy that he got another chance to spend more time with Ava, now that Hardin left.
"Oh, I don't want to trouble you," Ava said, refusing his offer. She thought that he was hindering her from her plans.
"Oh, believe me. You will never be a trouble to me," Tristan clucked. How could this innocent girl ever trouble anyone?
Ava felt like his message had a hidden meaning. Sometimes she didn't understand what he meant. He had a maturity that was beyond his age. She could not read him easily.
He always trapped her. It was hard to answer his questions. So far she learned that he would never take no for an answer. He had a dominating presence and did whatever he wanted.
