"What's wrong? Is everything fine?" Arwen asked, turning to look at Aiden, who sat behind the steering wheel, driving in silence.

"You have gone silent all of a sudden," she said, not hiding the reason for her doubt. "You aren't like this always. So, I asked, did anything happen that changed your mood?"
He paused for a second, and in that moment, something flashed in his eyes. But before Arwen could notice it, it was gone.
"How am I, then?" he asked.
"Huh?"
