Moving On From Bitter Memories

Hunter quickly checked if Bianca had worn her seatbelt securely before starting the car.

"Sunshine, you good?" Hunter asked in worry, cupping Bianca's cheek affectionately. "I'm sorry I made you all worry. I should've listened to your warning," Bianca stuttered, managing to form the words. 

"Oh, how nice of you to realise," Eric snapped, sarcasm dripping from his tone. Bianca flinched at his harsh tone and pursed her lips into a thin line, embarrassment and guilt painting her features. She leaned into Hunter's tender touch on her cheek and closed her eyes, not daring to turn around and meet Eric's judging eyes. 

She was ashamed that she didn't listen to her friends' warnings. If she did, it would've saved her the trouble and shame.
