Pleading for Answers

“If that’s what you want,” he replied like it was all up to me.

The ride to his place was silent and extremely awkward. The atmosphere felt cold and full of tension. The endless list of questions that I wanted to ask Ace ran round and round in my head nonstop; however, I didn’t know where to start. Most of the questions about his decision to step down from his position were pretty much asked already by his father. I wondered if he would give me different answers than the ones that he had already given his father.

“We’re finally back home…” Ace said while sounding tired and bored.

I wished that he would volunteer me with some answers and information but that didn’t seem to be the case. If anything, Ace looked sleepy and ready for bed. It must have been a long day for him; however, he was about to find out that the day was far from over for him yet as far as I was concerned. The driver drove away after dropping us off in front of Ace’s building.
