Since Eira wanted to sit with Adelyn, the two of them took the back seat while Dylan got into the driver's seat.
As the car moved down the road, Adelyn found herself glancing at Dylan again and again.
Dylan, of course, noticed.
His eyes lifted to meet hers through the rearview mirror. "You're curious about something?" he asked.
Adelyn was about to shake her head —but paused.
"Uh … I was just wondering … is that really comfortable for you?"
She didn't specify, but her gaze dropped briefly to his clothes.
Dylan followed it easily.
A faint curve touched the corner of his lips before he replied casually, "It's not uncomfortable."
… Which meant it was not entirely comfortable either.
And yet, he still chose to wear it.
Why?
"If it's your favorite, I won't keep it," he added suddenly, pulling her out of her thoughts. "I'll have it cleaned and return it."
Adelyn shook her head quickly.
