章 215: Leo's path

Louis knocked once and got Chloe's attention. She had been inside his car for a while with her eyes closed and her head resting on the headrest. She turned to look at him with dull eyes, he could tell she had cried a lot. Maybe she even dozed off in the middle of her sobs and had been awoken by his knock. 

She weakly reached for the lock and opened the door.

"Hey!" She said in a cracked voice while trying to hide her face from him.

"Time to go home." He said without asking or saying anything regarding how she looked.

She nodded and handed him his car keys before turning around to hop in the passenger's seat. 

"How did it go in there?" She asked, trying to make small talks as he drove out of the residence. 

"Tough." Came his answer immediately.
