Winter rolled her eyes. With how things were between them right now, they’d probably get buried in separate cemeteries.

“Just drop me off at the entrance,” she said.

“No way! I’m driving you all the way inside. Zach spun the wheel and drove straight into the underground parking lot.

As soon as the car stopped, Winter opened the door and stepped out. Thanks.”
