"Where are we going?" Gray finally asked, his voice calm as always, but his hand resting on his lap clenched slightly.
He had noticed the way she looked after Ray left. That strange silence, the way her eyes stared at nothing. It made something twist inside him…something he didn't want to name. Was she missing Ray already? Was she… bored of him?
He didn't show it, of course. Not on his face. But inside, Gray's thoughts were storming.
Lilith, on the other hand, felt his eyes on her. She blinked quickly and cleared her throat, shaking off the emotion sitting in her chest. Her fingers adjusted the heater knob as she looked straight ahead.
Then she smiled.
That confident, beautiful smile that only she could wear like a crown.
"Surprise," she said, her voice light again, eyes glancing at him sideways.
Gray stared at her for a moment. That smile was it hiding something?
Still, his heart relaxed just a little.
