Chapter 51 Undeserving (2)

• “I should just take another road… yes, that’s better.”
• Muttering to herself, Aura turned the steering wheel, guiding her car, which still looked polished and sleek even though not a single ray of sun touched it, down a different path.
• This road was older, narrower, hugged on both sides by tall trees that tangled their branches above like they were whispering secrets. The smell of green leaves, damp bark and wild grass seeped into her car, filling her lungs and stirring something deep in her chest.
