Dark clouds churned across the sky. Thunder rumbled in the distance, and within minutes, rain came hammering down in sheets.
Cold mist seeped through a gap in the window that hadn't been sealed properly. I shuddered.
Neither of us said a word for the rest of the drive. The silence lasted all the way to the rest stop.
Leo parked the car and turned to me. "Nora Henson, I'm going to grab something to eat. You want anything?"
I shot him a cold glance. "I'm not hungry. I'm going to use the restroom."
The rain had started to ease up. It was still coming down, but not hard enough to need an umbrella, so I dashed straight into the rest stop.
When I came back out after washing my hands, Leo was already sitting in the car waiting for me.
I jogged toward it. The second my fingers touched the door handle, he floored the gas and tore out of the parking spot.
I stood there like an idiot, my hand still frozen in mid-air where the door had been, unable to move for a full two seconds.
By the time my brain caught up, the car was gone. Leo was gone.
