Kapitel 18: Chapter 18 : What Drives Me

Ellis drove me home, and I was pleasantly surprised how the evening turned out to be given where it had started. A small part of me felt like he wasn’t the cold man I once thought, but I wasn’t ready to investigate deeper.

It was late and I had to get home.

I blushed, thinking maybe I had a bit too much wine, and looked out the side window as we drew closer to my house. Suddenly, I heard Ellis release a ‘hmm’ sound as if he had noticed something unusual and then I turned my attention to the front window. Carl’s BMW was parked down the street.

A woman opened the passenger door and stepped out, and my heart dropped to the floor.

It was my sister, Bethany.

Carl suddenly burst from the driver’s seat and began chasing her around the car teasingly. From the smiles on their faces, I could tell they were having a good time.

Carl suddenly raced back around the car and caught the unsuspecting Bethany in his arms.
