Jareth's gaze swept across Celestia. The second he caught that radiant smile lighting up her flawless features, his heart skipped a beat without warning.
Realizing he'd unconsciously smiled back at her, he quickly averted his eyes and replied softly, "Mm."
Celestia glanced at the murmuring pair nearby. Though she was a little curious, she kept it to herself. As Jareth turned to leave, she quickly called out, "Take care on the road."
Hearing her gentle reminder, Jareth paused mid-step for a brief second but didn't look back. He just continued walking straight into the car.
Inside the luxe Rolls-Royce, Jareth sat upright, posture as perfect as a model's. Under the muted light, his sharp features were stone-cold, his face unreadable-just like the gloomy sky outside the window.
