Bab 212: All for his sake

There was nothing but silence in the car. Since Heaven, Bear, and Axel brought two cars with them, they had to drive separately. Heaven had no choice but to ride with Axel, since Bear had to help Moose with those rogues she beat up. 

On their way home, there was nothing but silence. Axel would cast her side-eyes from time to time, but Heaven was oddly quiet. She was just looking out the window, making him wonder what was going on inside her mind. 

A shallow breath slipped past Axel's as he refocused his attention on the road ahead. Unlike Heaven, he was pretty much okay. He didn't fight those rogues. All he did was drive for a bit and then cower inside while she confronted them. 

'How embarrassing,' he told himself, sighing for the second time. 'Earlier… I almost couldn't recognize her.'
