Chapter 222: Back of a Police Car

A car rumbles past, shaking the side door where we're parked on the side of the road.

Ben leans back, his arm outstretched over the back of the passenger seat as he stares at me, neither one of us moving. "You don't need to sit in the back, you know."

"Oh." It's not until right then I glance around and realize when it was time to get into Ben's police car I went right to the back seat. Granted I've never been arrested before, but I guess I assumed. I blame my lack of steady thought on Hudson... And sadness.

"We usually save the back for criminals. You're not a criminal. Are you?" Ben asks, laughing as he gets out and opens the back door to let me out.
