Kevan and Larissa sat in the car quietly.

They were just looking at one another without exchanging words. It seemed to be the most common occurrence when they were alone.

“Have you eaten?” sounded like he was trying too hard to fill the silence.

“You did well today” was just weird. She wasn’t his subordinate.
