She was an angel, that made even the devil want to go to heaven

I was driving. An hour and a half after we got out of town.

Sky was sleeping next to me, she didn't notice she was snoring a little bit, but it's adorable. She's leaning against the window and I'm avoiding the holes so she'll sleep fine.

I'm driving, here I sit, cursing my government for not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement (if you know you know)

Nicolas is asleep too, with his mouth open and headphones on. I still hate him but he looks really funny at the moment

It's like that for half an hour and it's making me want to sleep too, even if it's just twelve AM

The sudden move from beside me made me turn my head so quickly my neck cracked.

Sky was holding her left palm towards her body, her face squeezing in pain

"I have a spasm" she hissed. The pain just didn't want to go away

"Give me your hand"

She did it without any complaints. I interlace our fingers and pushed her wrist down to relieve the pain. Meanwhile, I was keeping my eyes on the road.

"Better?" I looked at her. She had tears in her eyes but nodded.

"Thank you" She relaxed into her seat again

I wanted to put my hand on the steering wheel but she squeezed my hand and kept it on her thigh

A few minutes later, she put her shoes down and sat on the seat in the Turkish style still holding my hand. She started to observe the pinkie ring Grandma gave me

"How long do you have this?" She asked curiously

"Not for long, since I was fifteen. My grandma gave it to me"

"Not for long" she imitated me

"Just two years" I defended myself with a laugh

"Why'd she give it to you?"

"You know curiosity killed the cat, right?" Sky rolled her eyes at my response "You never told me if Henry gave you any punishment for what happened with Peter" She stopped observing my ring

"Um, yeah he did"

"And what?" I couldn't help my curiosity

"He forbade me from talking or texting to him for some time. I was allowed to text him the reason but nothing else" Sky shrugged "but Henry trusts me. He knows I won't text him until I can so..."

"And will you?" I raised my brow

"Hell no. I don't wanna risk Henry finding out" Her eyes were wide

"I can borrow you my phone if you'll crawl so much to talk to him," I said way before I thought of the consequences

"No. Thanks but no. Peter is nosy. I need a break from him" I chuckled

"If you need a break from someone, maybe you just shouldn't talk to him at all," I said in a lower voice

"And maybe you should mind your own business" She let go of my hand and put her knees to her chest forbidding me to keep my hand on her thigh

I sighed and put my hand on the steering wheel again letting the silence swallow us

It took another half an hour to get into the beach house. Sky didn't talk to me even when I helped her with her stuff
