Separate Ways

Claire was awakened by the light of the sun striking her eyes. It turned out she slept through the rest of the night.

She slowly opened her eyes with her head still leaning toward the window. She realized that she was still in the car. She straightened her back and looked outside, wondering where she was, because she knew she wasn’t at Zaxe City.

She was holding her breath when she found her house. They were in Qoya City, her home.

Claire quickly whipped her neck, looking at Hunter, who looked like a mess. It looked like he didn’t sleep at all. His hair was ruffled, even though it was still in a good way for Claire, his eyes looked tired.

And with the chill weather there, Claire felt he missed a jacket to keep him warm, but then again he didn’t wear his jacket because the jacket was in her hands.

For a second there, they were just staring at each other. Claire was confused at the moment, not knowing why she was in front of her house.
