Somewhere in the middle, he was tensed.
There was no news about his whereabouts yet and his parents were going crazy over it. The police had been continuing their search but could not come across any evidence or point yet.
"I...I just went out to clear my head. And forgot to keep track of time."
Cole started but stopped himself from saying about what exactly happened for he recalled the words of the woman in the middle of those fields in the dim light, how she asked him to keep it a secret.
So he covered it up and applied brakes on his mouth right away before he ended up blurting out everything to Vin for he always told him about each and everything.
Vin eyed him with seriousness trying to analyze if he was telling the truth. If it would have been other times, the act of not being about to match eyes with him would make him know that Cole was lying.
