In His Refuge

The truck came to a halt in front of the cabin house, it was dark by the time they had gotten back and the digital clock on the dash of the truck read 9:00 PM.

The whole ride back had been spent in awkward silence with both their thoughts running wild at what happened earlier.

Ellie had tried to open her mouth and say something about it but each time she looked at his stoic face, that clenched sharp jaw, her throat clogged up and her mouth clamped shut until finally she leaned against the door and her eyes shut on their own accord halfway through the drive back.

Now that they were parked in front of the house, Jason finally looked to his right at her, only to find her asleep. He let out a long sigh, resting his head against the steering wheel.

He was mad at himself for the kiss, it was barely one but it still happened.
