quiet ride for a moment it's so quiet!
smiles Just thinking. Pretty soon we'll be heading to Grandma's, huh?
Yeah. I'm excited to see her! She always has some wisdom to share, and she makes the best food.
looks at Tiffany hey you want to hear something funny?
glances back and forth between you two, intrigued Sure, go ahead. What is it?
i look over at you what do you want?
I give you a quick glance before returning my eyes to the road
You've been acting strange ever since we got back from that date. What's going on?
I roll my eyes and turn down the volume
"Could you keep it down? We're about to be at my mom's. She's not gonna like that."
I look over at you
You don't have to look so worried. I'm sure my mom is nice.
I continue to drive
my name is Jack hey, why don't you call your mother and tell her we're running a little late? traffic is really bad.
I chuckle softly, reaching into my purse for my phone Yeah, that's a good idea.
I dial my mom's number, holding the phone up to my ear as it rings
nervously gripping the steering wheel Yeah... too quiet. What's going on?
I look over at you with a concerned expression
You're not feeling weird about going to my mom's, right? I told her we were coming over so she'll be all up in our business.
I turn up the radio better now?
my eyes widen as the car collides with something
What the- oh my god!
the airbag deploys, causing me to gasp
I feel like every time we go somewhere there's always some kind of drama going on. Tiffany sighs
I let out a scoff
Oh girl, you know that's my life! Drama follows me everywhere... It's exhausting!
looks at her ok. I can be quiet if that's what you want?
No, no, I didn't mean it like that. I just find it weirdly silent... I've been driving around all day. All the radio stations are playing stupid songs or talking about things I don't care about. I just need some company.
chuckles Just thinking. So, what's the plan once we get there?
Once we get there, I'll hopefully get some advice from my mom, she's really smart. And I think she'll be able to give me some insight on my dating life.
I look at you
And hopefully you'll be able to offer some advice too, since you've had more experience than me!
she asks why I never talk about my dad
looks at you, slightly concerned Oh, sweetie, we don't have to talk about anything you don't want to. But...if there's ever anything bothering you, you know you can always come to me, right?
I put my hand on your thigh
I turn my head towards you and smile, my heart skipping a beat as I feel your touch
I reach down and take your hand in mine, intertwining our fingers together
she takes us to a large cabin in the woods
as we walk towards the cabin, the crunch of leaves under our feet fills the silence
we enter the cabin, and I'm immediately struck by how cozy and inviting it is. There's a fireplace, comfortable furniture, and plenty of natural light pouring in through the windows
I am sorry. As we continue to drive.
looks at you with a slight frown Don't be sorry. It's just...been a bit stressful lately, that's all.
glances out the window before looking back at you So, how have you been? Anything new or exciting happening in your life?
gives her an ice cream cone here you go
I accept the ice cream cone "thank you darling"
