Chapter 12 A Deal Made

• It had been nearly two hours since they had been on the road - Scarlett had remained silent, that cold angry aura still surrounding her. Elijah had tried to make conversation a few times but she gave one-word replies, her eyes never leaving her phone or the window. His own patience was running out and it was taking his all not to snap at her.
• “Want to stop for a break?” He asked, indicating as he got off the motorway and headed into the nearest town. Scarlett had not even noticed he had diverted from the route, it seemed she was always terrible at directions. Something that she was made fun of plenty of times for during tracking training.
• “No.” She said. Elijah frowned and once it was safe to do so he parked up, only then did she look around to see him raising an eyebrow at her.
