IN THE CAR
I leaned back in the leather seat, casually scrolling through my phone when a message popped up.
"Hey, it's me, Elias
Thanks again for helping me out!
Don't forget to save my number~"
A soft laugh escaped my lips. This guy really was... something.
I quickly typed back:
"No worries! And dw, I will haha"
I barely hit send when I felt it-that sharp side-glance from the driver's seat.
I looked up slowly.
Dante wasn't saying anything, but the way he peeked over, then turned his eyes back to the road a little too fast, made me raise an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked, tilting my head.
He didn't look at me.
"You were grinning at your phone like an idiot," he said dryly.
I rolled my eyes and went back to texting Elias.
The longer I tapped away, the more I felt the temperature in the car subtly shift. Not the AC. The mood.
Dante wasn't saying anything-but his jaw was just slightly tighter, one hand gripping the steering.
I casually looked up. "Do you want something,?"
