6 Chapter 6

Lara-Jean's POV

"All set?" Covey asked as I got into the passenger seat of her car.

I still couldn't believe I was doing this, I was about to spend Thanksgiving weekend with Covey. Besides being nervous to spend a whole weekend with her, I was secretly so grateful. It was way better than being in school alone.

I nodded and Covey reversed out of the driveway, and began speeding along the highway to her house an hour and a half from our University town.

The first few moments were silent, the tension in the air for the past few weeks still hung heavy in the air. My windows were down and the breeze from outside was slapping against my face, tossing my hair in every direction.

"You know," Covey said, her eyes on the road ahead of her, "I don't let what I want go easily."

My breathing hitched and my heart picked up speed. For some reason I felt oddly warm, hearing those words from her. It didn't scare me.
