“Today’s the second day of the New Year, and we’re supposed to visit my parents. I’m going to change clothes. Wait a moment, we’ll go together.”
I didn’t refuse.
After all, my father-in-law and mother-in-law had always treated me well.
Before long, Morgana came out, already dressed and ready to go.
I was a little surprised.
In the past, it would’ve taken her at least half an hour to change.
It wasn’t until I saw Evren waiting in the car that everything made sense.
So it wasn’t about New Year’s customs; she didn’t want to keep Evren waiting.
Evren smiled at me. “Nash, hop in. Today I’ll be your and Morgana’s driver. I’ll go with you to visit her parents.”
I turned and asked her, “You want him to come too?”
Morgana quickly explained, “Don’t overthink it. Evren was feeling lonely at home, so I brought him along.”
“It’s just a meal. We’ll come back after eating.”
I smiled and opened the car door, getting into the back seat. She was right, it was just a meal. The last meal.
“Morgana, you get carsick. Sit in the front.”
Evren graciously opened the passenger-side door for her.
She looked at me with hesitation, but only paused for a second before getting in.
I used to worry about her getting carsick, too.
