Kapitel 157: Chapter 157 Hadn’t Considered all the Possibilities

Mirage’s P.O.V

The wind from the open car windows blew back my hair from my face, but even though I knew those tangles will be hell to untangle later on, it didn’t stop me from enjoying the wind; from enjoying my tiny moment of freedom as Alex drove me to Lincoln County in his jeep, followed by Sarah, Darcia, Frey and Cameron, each couple following behind us in their own car.

“I never thought I’d see the my old house again.” I told Alex as he navigated swiftly through the highways, his attention completely on the road ahead. But something told me that there was a lot going on in his mind. He seemed almost distracted as he answered me with a ‘hmmm…’, instead of reassuring me, or providing me with comforting words like he usually did.

“Alex?” I frowned. “Are you alright?”

“Huh?” He seemed to snap out of his thoughts before looking at me. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”

He tried to give me a miserable excuse for a smile that didn’t even reach his eyes.
