บท 428: Fishy Request

"Why are you so quiet?" Lucy asked as she turned to look at Tom who had been quiet since he started driving.

She had been expecting him to badger her with so many questions the minute they were alone, but he had been unusually quiet for some time. 

Tom sighed, "I don't know. I guess I'm just trying to process some things in my head one more time before asking you any question," Tom said, and Lucy nodded in understanding.

"How was work today?" She asked after some time, and Tom glanced at her. 

"It was going alright until you told me about it, and after that time I could barely think about anything else," Tom said, and Lucy smiled sadly.

"I understand," she murmured. 

"What about you? How are you?" Tom asked, and Lucy shrugged.

"It's just one of those days I want to come to an end quickly," Lucy said before looking at him with a serious expression.

"Harry didn't suspect anything, did he?" Lucy asked, and Tom shrugged.
