Chapter 57 Penny
Chapter 57
Penny
They drive home in the pouring rain. As soon as they pull up to the inn, Penny gets out and slams the car door behind her. He tried to get her to talk along the way, but she wasn’t interested. She knows the video will go viral, and not only did they promise to protect their friends but they have their kids to consider too. Her daughters have just stopped having nightmares, and now the leeches will unearth the drama, blast it all over the news.
“What do you want from me, Pen?” he’d asked her as he drove.
“I want you to be quiet!” she had said, pulling her jacket tighter around her.
“I’ll never apologize for protecting you.”
The winding roads were slick and steep on the drive back, and while he concentrated on the wheel, she sank inside the tapping of the rain along the roof.
Penny hurries to her room, the conversation with the young women on the trail pedaling back and forth through her mind. If you love her, prove it.
Was that what he was trying to do?
