Kapitel 53: Awkward Morning.

Now that Sophia had been dropped off and it was just the two of them in the car, Vanessa couldn't help feeling even more uncomfortable by Alex's awkward silence.

Why she wanted him to speak was beyond her, since he seemed to annoy her every time he said something to her. Still, she felt like if something was wrong with him she had to know.
