She placed them on the tray with water and was moving to the dining centre, her phone chimed.She immediately put the tray on the table and scrolled through her message.

Avie could not believe her ears when Shawn quoted a while ago that he regretted bringing her to the station. "Shawn you don't mean what you said earlier right?"

Besides he has not done anything wrong that would make their mom yell at him because of Avie. The tranquillity between the duo can be likened to that of a cemetery. Shawn is not ready yet to break the silence between them at all.After about forty minutes, they arrived at their house, and Shawn switched off the engine. As soon as Avie got down from the car to open the gate, he started the engine and zoomed off.He drove very fast for about ten minutes, he packed the car by the roadside, let down the glass, and screamed "God why!!!".
