"Where are you taking me?" I asked for the tenth time.
And for the tenth time, Trent simply smiled. But this time, he took my hand and laced our fingers. "I told you. It's a surprise," he said.
I rolled my eyes. "And I told you. I don't like surprises."
He laughed, the sound wrapping around me like my favorite blanket - warm and comforting. We'd been driving for almost an hour, and I still had no idea where we were, and he wasn't even giving me a hint. I unhooked my seat belt and scooted across the seat so I was next to him.
"Whitney told me that everyone is going back to school with me." I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Well, with Isach around, I figured the more eyes I had on you, the better." He lifted our hands and kissed my knuckles. "I hope that's okay."
"Yeah, it'll be fun having mind reading vampires following me around." My tone was sarcastic. "She said the story is that they're your cousins."
"Mm-hmm." He nodded.
