Chapter 46

• *Danika*
• The car came to a screeching halt along the tarred road beside a forest, just like the other day. My hand went to my chest to slow my breathing while maintaining my poker face and my resolve not to speak to him, not even look at him.
• I didn't hear him in the first place how can I respond to what I don't hear? I know it was paining him that all the while he has been talking, I was paying deaf ears_ only listening to my music. I saw his mouth moving but I am not interested in whatever he had to say. Just because he came to pick me up from work or would I say his meeting me on the road is a coincidence, and now he feels he I should listen to him?
