An eerie joke
“I… Eh,” Carter stammered, struggling to come up with a response. Before he could say anything else, Tara burst into laughter, the sound light and mischievous. “I’m just kidding,” she said between giggles. “But I won’t answer your question. It’s a secret.” Her playful tone did little to reassure Carter, who couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Though Carter tried to laugh it off, a strange sensation settled in his gut. The girl’s carefree attitude suddenly seemed out of place, and she no longer appeared as innocent as she had earlier. In fact, she was starting to give off an unsettling vibe. Trying to shake off the feeling, he turned his attention back to the road, glancing at the navigation screen to check the time.
