Chapter 22

I just looked out the window, enjoying the silence in the car as we drove back towards school. Once in a while, Nate would hum along to a song playing on the radio, and I would look at him. He's just give me a nonchalant smile and go back to humming while tapping his fingers. I would let out a soft laugh and let him, loving the sight of him happy and carefree.

Nate obviously realised I wasn't budging and dropped my hand. "Unless you don't want to" he said defeatedly.
