274 A Car?

Ren was like a malfunctioning robot when he got inside his unit. He didn't even know how he got there. Everything was a blur from the time that Evie agreed for him to escort her home.

The truth was he never expected that Evie would agree. He just wanted to know where she lived. And the next thing he knew, he was taking her home later. After ten pm. When it was dark.

". . ."

"Ren, you okay?" Helen noticed that Ren was not himself and he was acting weird by just standing at the door and not doing anything. His wide eyes told of shock and his red face was more unusual, like he was caught doing embarrassing things.

Blinking in rapid succession, Ren's eyes darted to his mother, and his stunned face broke into a wide smile.

Helen hadn't seen Ren smile like that since he was a child first time eating ice cream.

What was going on?

Instead of feeling joy that his son was happy, Helen was worried that something had happened for Ren to act that way.

Did he hit his head?
