Aiden helped Arwen in the car before fastening her seatbelt. "You are comfortable?" he asked, his eyes sharp at her as if trying to notice even the slightest of her discomfort.
Arwen shifted a little before adjusting herself more comfortably in her seat. Then, nodding, she said, "I am perfectly comfortable. You will be driving?"
Aiden hummed lightly before closing the door for her. Then walking around the car, he got into the driver’s seat.
She glanced at him, her eyes noting his handsome chiselled face. He had moved around so much, yet not even a single hair looked out of place. He simply looked so perfect that even perfection would shy away from him.
"Take a picture, it will last longer," he said, suddenly turning to catch her off guard.
Arwen blinked her eyes before looking away. "I wasn’t looking at you," she said, feeling Aiden leaning her side, motioning her to look outside, up in the sky.
She didn’t understand what he was asking her to look at until she heard him say, "And there I see the pigs flying. Interesting, isn’t it?" She pouted, before pushing him off.
"How narcissistic!"
Aiden chuckled. "I have all the reason to be one, and you can’t refute even one of them."
"Really?" Arwen pressed her lips as if challenging him, only to see him shrug.
"Want me to prove it?"
Could she win? Definitely not. He was right to say. If he comes to prove it, she would find not one good reason to refute it.
Looking away, she skipped his question. "Why aren’t you driving already? I still have to get home and rest," she said, and Aiden laughed internally, before starting the engine.
After a moment, Arwen suddenly remembered something and she turned back to him. As her gaze got fixed on him, she asked, "By the way, I didn’t get to ask you but I am curious —how did you find me?"
He appeared there right on time. Though it felt like a miraculous coincidence, she was mature enough to know coincidences don’t happen —something or the other just triggers it and the parties involved remain oblivious to it, thinking that it was some kind of coincidence.
Aiden didn’t answer immediately, but from the side, she saw something shift in his expression.
