Chloe leaned her head slightly toward the window, watching the unfamiliar streets pass by, her reflection faintly visible against the tinted glass. The rain had slowed into a soft drizzle, leaving thin streaks across the surface, distorting the view outside.
Her brows knitted together slightly.
"Why are we going through these odd roads?"
Her voice carried a hint of curiosity mixed with lingering tension.
Marcel kept his eyes on the road, his hands steady on the steering wheel as he maneuvered through narrow lanes and sharp turns.
"There is a mechanic up ahead. My car was there for repair."
Chloe glanced around the interior of the car.
"This car?"
Marcel nodded lightly.
"I picked it up from the mechanic. Someone needed it urgently."
Ghost shifted slightly in his seat, a faint smirk appearing on his face.
"What, do not look at me. It was urgent, was it not?"
Chloe did not respond.
