Rose POV
Why would Dexter offer me a drive home? My house was just two blocks away from them. Didn’t he remember where I lived? But of course, he wanted to talk!
I attempted to talk, but no voice was coming out of my mouth. This was the first time we were by ourselves and the first time I was cornered to talk to him. No one was there to save me. So there I was standing with my eyes wide staring back at him.
“I’m free to drive you home, if it’s okay?” he asked again cautiously.
After a few deep breaths, I was able to answer him.
“No. I’m fine walking.” I turned around and started to walk faster this time.
“Rose! Please!” He followed me and matched my steps. “Just to drive you home. No conversation or whatever. You don’t have to talk to me. I just want to know you get home safe.”
