It took a long moment before Elara finally came back to herself.
A strange feeling lingered in her chest, but she assumed it was because of the conversation she had just had with Mrs Vale. So without saying anything, she turned her face away from him.
Adrian did not speak either. After she had settled properly in her seat, he started the car and drove out of the Vale residence without delay.
The ride was very quiet and Elara simply kept her eyes on the moving lights outside the window, watching cars pass and buildings blur into each other. Every now and then, her eyelids will drop without her permission, but she forced them open again each time.
She could not fall asleep here.
As the thought settled in her mind, another followed instantly.
She did not even know where he was taking her. It was possible he intended to drop her back at Voice.
