Cosette sat in the backseat in silence, peeking at Maxen, who was sitting near the other window. When they left the establishment, they didn't idle as they got into the car with Luke. They first dropped Luke and Remo off, with Maxen asking the latter to look after Luke for him.
Now, it was just Cosette and Maxen on their way back to the Blac Mansion.
It was rare for the two of them to stay so silent. Although not all the time they were chatting, the silence between them wasn't anything awkward. It was a peaceful kind of silence, but tonight was different.
"Are you angry?" she asked, breaking the silence between them when she couldn't take it anymore.
Maxen snapped his eyes at her. "I'm upset."
"Max."
"Cozie." This time, Maxen didn't allow her to reason out with him. However, his tone was still calm. "Don't put yourself in danger over and over."
