Owen leaned against his seat, staring blankly into the void. After a long moment, he finally started the car.

Hailey sat quietly, slowly pressing her lips together, turning to gaze out the window. The confined space felt stifling.

The drive was silent.

Instead of going to Charm, Owen stopped in front of a restaurant.

“Let’s grab something to eat before heading over,” he said softly, stepping out of the car.

They returned to the car, and as they settled in, Owen suddenly spoke. “We were together for a year, and then apart for five.”
