As time passed, Thea's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she realised that she had dozed off.
"Did we arrive?" Thea asked while glancing around the window..
Ryder, silently looking at his phone, replied with a simple "Hmm."
"I am sorry. I fell asleep," Thea apologized.
"You don't have to be sorry, Thea.." Ryder responded.
"It's getting late. I better leave now... Goodbye.." Thea said, unbuckling her seat belt.
"Are you not going to invite me?" Ryder asked with a hint of amusement.
"Do I have to? You are always welcome. You know that very well..My Grandma adore you more than me." Thea replied.
"Are you coming to visit now?" she asked.
Ryder laughed. "Not today."
"Okay..then ..Bye.." Thea waved back before she made her way to her home.
Ryder didn't start the car, even after he saw her entering her house. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number. His voice was firm as he spoke.
