Kaleb’s car was parked downstairs. Seeing me get out, he took the suitcase and casually threw it into the trunk. Then, he pushed me into the car. With a gloomy face, he stepped hard on the accelerator. The car started off at a high speed, and I didn’t expect him to be so impatient. Just as I fastened my seatbelt, inertia threw me back against the seat. Instantly, I felt a fiery pain in my back.

But being locked in such a confined space with him was indeed a little embarrassing. However, if I were to start a conversation… What could two people with a broken relationship have to talk about?
