You said time would prove everything, right?

The atmosphere was eerily strange all the way there.

Sam felt this wasn't the way to the station but rather to the execution ground, and it seemed like the execution was imminent.

Angel remained silent throughout the journey. She didn't like talking when there were many people around or when someone she disliked was present.

Ava, on the other hand, sulkily stared out of the window, though it was unclear why she was upset.

Was it because of Sam?

It seemed so, but it was just about something he said the night before, merely sharing his perspective. Why would that make her so angry?

Sam tried to find some topics to break the awkward silence, but it seemed no one was willing to engage. Only his father quietly turned on the car's stereo and played some old songs.

This was one of the things Sam appreciated most about his father. With the soothing music, the ride to the station didn't seem so unbearable anymore.
