A lopsided chat
Breaking the heavy silence, Carter asked, “So, are you heading to your parents’ house?” His voice was casual, but the question seemed to catch the girl off guard. She flinched slightly at the sudden interruption, her eyes flicking toward him for just a moment.
“Eh, no,” she responded briefly, offering no further explanation. The conversation ended as abruptly as it had begun, and once again, silence filled the truck. Frustrated with the one-sided exchange, Carter decided to turn on the radio, filling the air with music for the remainder of the drive, hoping it would ease the tension.
