Chapter 74 Party Favor

The city lights passed by in a blur as Jos leaned against the window, her mind vigorously working through what was to come. She meant what she said, as soon as the gala was over, she was telling Xavier and thanking him for being a friend before leaving to come home. A light pat to the hand she had balled into fists in her lap brought her attention back to the now. She glanced up at Arei question in her eyes, but he was focused on the road his hand merely resting on hers in what seemed to be reassurance. She began to say something before stopping herself. A heavy blush covered her face as she continued to stare up at him.

Arei laughed as he glanced her way, "What is it? You have a funny look-" He frowned remembering he was still holding her hand and frowned. "Sorry, I didn't think... it must be awkward for you, I'm sorry." He lifted his hand from hers and rested it on the gear shifter instead.
