Chapter 14
~ Seraphina’s POV
I don’t say a single word during the whole ride home.
Not to my mom, not even when she lets out little annoyed sighs beside me, like it’s somehow my fault the night wasn’t perfect. I just keep my eyes on the window, watching the streetlights flash by. The car’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for the occasional buzz of her phone when she gets a text.
I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just tired. Bone-deep tired.
When we finally pull into the driveway, I’m out of the car before the driver even properly parks it. I slam the door a little too hard, but whatever. Mom doesn’t say anything. She’s already on her phone again and I don’t wait for her. I head inside, up the stairs, and straight for my room.
Thank God for the silence. Thank God
I don’t both
