Arwen had thought about asking Aiden about it.
She wasn't suspicious —rather, she brought it up casually, like just another topic of conversation.
But she didn't notice the way Aiden's expression shifted.
The darkness inside the car worked to his advantage, hiding the subtle tension that flickered across his face.
"I was out for something," he said simply, not explaining it further.
Arwen also didn't mind. She simply nodded and let out a soft "Oh".
Not long after, they reached home.
Stepping out of the car, Arwen looked back at Aiden, waiting for him to walk with her.
However, Aiden gestured for her to go ahead.
"I need to make a call. You go inside and rest first."
"Come soon," she said with a small nod, wrapping her arms around herself as she glanced at the chilly night. "It's cold outside. Don't stay out too long."
With that, she turned and walked toward the house.
