Good Dream Tonight

The drive was mostly silent, save for the occasional sound of the tires rolling over the pavement and the distant hum of the night. Raelynn sat in the passenger seat, her fingers loosely intertwined on her lap, sneaking glances at Elion from time to time.

She wanted to ask where they were going. She had about a million questions, starting with why they were out so late. But instead, she remained quiet, allowing the ride to unfold in its own pace.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the car came to a slow stop. Elion turned off the engine, and in the stillness that followed, Raelynn could hear the gentle rippling of water nearby. She blinked in confusion as she turned to look outside the window.
