Chapter 32

Cindy sat still in the car, she glanced out the window and then back at the boy sitting beside her and driving. Her eyes went to his white knuckles on the steering and she sighed. It’s has been ten minutes since they drove out of home but he had said not a single word. It was hard to believe that he was the chatty one only but ten minutes ago.
She could almost hear the sound of his clenched teeth from how tight his jaw was and she found herself feeling sorry for his teeth. She heaved a sigh once more and glanced out of the window, for some reason she didn’t want to be there again but she also knew deep inside her that he needs her now. Tracy’s return was a surprise to her too and she knew she didn’t have to be since it has been more than a month she left and coming back was something soon for her. But seeing the effect she still has on him, she was having a complex emotion.
Another five minutes drive and she couldn’t take it again, she leaned forward and placed her hand on his on the steering, fearing that if he should tighten his fingers some more, he might break the bones. She glanced at him and for the first time since their fifteen minutes drive, she saw life come into his eyes.
