Chapter 238 : What Now?

Sara

We drove in silence. Despite being upset with Jaxon, I couldn’t help but take comfort in his arms. I let him keep an arm around me while we drove through the streets back home. It was surreal to see all the other cars driving around, people walking on the street and life carrying on like usual. It was as if nothing had happened and that felt even more sickening to me. I don’t know what I expected but something more, something that acknowledged something significant had happened.

The silence between us remained as we walked inside the house. I dragged myself over and flopped down on the couch. Jaxon took more precise and hesitant steps over toward me and sat down next to me, keeping his hands to himself now.

"I’m so sorry, Sara," he whispered.

I nodded, not wanting to think back on all I had witnessed.
