After spending an afternoon shopping with Victoria, we walked out of the mall and realized it was raining.
"I'll drive you home," Victoria offered, starting up her car.
She was the one who had driven Aurelia to the mall.
Aurelia glanced at the darkening sky and politely declined Victoria's offer with a smile, "No need, I feel like walking for a bit."
"In this weather?" Victoria looked at the increasingly heavy rain, then glanced at her with concern.
Aurelia chuckled lightly, "I think I'll take a taxi."
"Oh," Victoria replied awkwardly.
She thought maybe Aurelia wasn't thinking straight after spending this time following her, and if that were the case, Mason would definitely have words with her once they got back.
"It's getting late. Why don't you call Mason to pick you up?" Victoria suggested, feeling a bit uneasy.
Aurelia checked the time, "No need, he should be busy right now. He said he would go to the base this afternoon, probably urgent matters to handle."
