Chapter 32: A Silent Load
Hailey’s POV
In the middle of the silence, I discover Owen looking at me through the small distance between us.
“What's the matter?” I ask him between whispers and he shakes his head.
“I was just silently thanking the Goddess for having you,” he affirms, as his fingers run over my face in a soft caress. I feel a shiver run up my back and I remain silent, not knowing how to respond to his sweet words.
The car stops and Sebastian and Patrick get out in a hurry. They are discussing the preparations for the trip and the measures they have to take, but Owen stops and looks at me carefully.
“I want to ask you something,” he says as we get out of the car, closing the door behind me. I lean back on the car and look at him, while he leans slightly against my body.
In the solitude and silence of the garage I almost feel as if the two of us are the only people in the world.
