Pucked On Ice
“Oh, the taxi I ordered is here. Come on, Dex, let’s go.”
Dex hesitated, looking at Riven. “Why don’t you go first? I’ll leave later. I wanted to talk with Riven for a bit.”
Riven shook his head quickly. “No, no — just go, please. You don’t want to disappoint my mom.”
Dex forced a smile, though he still looked reluctant. “Alright.” He glanced at me one last time, eyes narrowed, before climbing into the taxi with Riven’s mom.
As the car started to pull away, I couldn’t resist. I lifted my hand and waved at Dex with a bright, deliberately annoying smile. He glared at me through the window, frowning hard. I kept waving until the taxi disappeared down the street.
