Hang In There

Ivy drove away from Claire's house, gripping the steering wheel tighter than she realized. Her mind swirled with thoughts of Hunter.

The way Selena had called her earlier, sounding almost alarmed, didn't sit well with her. What news could be so important? And why Hunter? She knew she could easily pull out her phone and check the trending stories online, but she told herself firmly, 'I'm not interested. I don't care what's going on with him.'

Yet even as she told herself that, her foot pressed harder on the gas, and before she knew it, she was already on the familiar route to Hunter's house.

What am I doing? She thought, glancing at the street signs. She should turn around, go home, and forget any of this ever happened or that Selena ever called her.
