Maddie was late, she talked too much which caused Bram's car had disappeared from the terrace when she called. "Ah, dammit!" Maddie grumbled in annoyance, staring at Castelia who only responded with a nonchalant shrug.
Castelia walked upstairs, thinking, 'I was hoping not to see Bram again but he knows where I live instead. Castelia snorted, annoyed that she had no choice because Bram wouldn't stop insisting. Castelia hated to think about it but somehow Bram's coercion didn't feel like something bad and annoying. Instead, Castelia felt calm and comfortable.
"So I'm still waiting for your story," said Maddie, she followed Castelia into her room and sat on the bed. Maddie didn't want to give up. Not meeting whoever was driving her friend home didn't matter because Maddie had Castelia to answer her questions.
