บท 25: Chapter 25: Evan

"Are you ready to go?" I asked.

It was an hour later after we'd both showered and gotten dressed. Anita blushed, hugging herself as she shuffled her feet.

"I can just walk back."

Even though I found her sudden shyness a little amusing, I just rolled my eyes at her.

"My place is further from school, and if you have to walk all the way home after coming here, how long will that take you? It's already this late, just let me drop you off."

She pursed her lips, but I didn't miss that she wasn't all that displeased. I took my car keys and opened the door, but she still hesitated.

"Um, I know it's a little late to ask this, but there isn't anyone else at home, right?"

I crooked a corner of my lips up but didn't say anything as I headed out. I heard her scrambling to fol-low me. I could have just told her my dad was home, but if he'd stayed downstairs then he wouldn't have heard us, and it wasn't like I planned to introduce them.
