As the luxury white sedan glided smoothly through the city, Lariette sat quietly in the back seat, her hands holding the clutch. The driver hadn't spoken a thing and she didn't know whether to feel relieved or not.
Looking out the window, Lariette watched the blur of lights and buildings pass by, her heart still fluttering with nervous excitement. She had already texted Ruediger that she was on her way even though the driver did the same.
'Where are you waiting for me, Eddy?'
A soft smile played on Lariette's lips. Ruediger hadn't told her where he was, only that the driver would bring her safely to him. The mystery kind of thrilled her.
At over six-thirty, the sky outside had deepened into dusky blue with purple undertones. When the car turned down a road, she saw the familiar building of Edenia Avenue, glowing softly in the cold evening.
'Is it there?'
