Chapter 108: Crazy Train, Part 2

The rest of the drive to my dad's house was made in utter silence, and with each passing mile, my dread intensified. Trent stopped along the side of the road rather than into the unnecessarily long driveway. He shifted into park but didn't turn off the car.

"You going to make me walk up to the house?" I teased, but it was a weak - and failed - attempt at lightening the mood.

"No. I just. . ." He sighed heavily. "I'm glad you're happy, Chloe. You deserve to be. And no matter what's been happening, you're not crazy." He pinned me with a pleading look. "Don't ever doubt that, okay?"

"Okay," I said, drawing out the word.

That was probably the closest thing to an admission I was ever going to get from him, and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. I knew him, yet, I didn't. Not really. Talk about confusing.
