章 11: Chapter 11: The Surprise

"You might want to leave Grayson Junior in the car. I don't want him to get dirty." Jude opens the door for Grayson again, reaching out his hand.

Grayson takes it. "If you say so." He looks around.

Jude parks the car at the edge of the forest. The moon shines brightly through the trees and the stars are more bright than Grayson has ever seen them before.

"...The woods?"

Jude nods. "It's my favorite place here, I wanted to share that with you."

"Does sharing that with me include murdering me and burying my body here?"

"It does not. It does involve a little bit of walking, though."

"Can we renegotiate the no murder thing?"

Jude cackles. "I'll carry you as soon as you're tired of walking."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Alright, let's see what's so good about a bunch of sticks and leaves," Grayson teases and takes Jude's hand.
