Evaline:
By the time breakfast ended, tension had already settled thick in my bones.
I didn't speak. My mates didn't speak.
We didn't need to.
We all knew where we were going.
We were going to face the mole.
After clearing the dishes and handing Lioren to Madam Elira, we headed outside. The cars were already waiting for us.
Oscar and Kieran got into one.
River jerked his chin at the second car.
"You are with me."
I slipped into the passenger seat while River settled into the seat beside me. A moment later, the engine came alive beneath his hands, and the car smoothly pulled away from the estate.
I watched as he drove us out of the estate and onto the road leading away from the mansion.
He noticed.
"What," he asked dryly, "is that look on your face?"
I didn't hide it. "I just haven't seen you driving often. This is... the second time."
One dark brow rose slowly. "And?"
"And I think you look absolutely stunning while driving." I answered, completely unashamed.
