Chapter 17: On Impulse

Ethan burst out yelling this time, he wasn't able to hold that back any longer, especially not after what he heard Caleb had just said to him.

Caleb was now looking back at him, speechless. The words that were once at the tip of his tongue quickly dissipated. He didn't know what to say. He only turned to look at Alexandra who was looking down at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing she had ever seen. 

There was a moment of silence.

"Is that true?" Caleb finally asked as his eyes met Alexandra's.

She didn't say another word but quickly broke eye contact before nodding. 

"Well then, I guess I will leave you two alone," he deadpanned before turning around to leave.

Alexandra could only watch quietly as Caleb walked further and further away until he disappeared around the corner.
