Chapter 345: Cabin. (1/2)

Jen got bored after an hour of driving. All she could see was a long stretch of road in front of her and the occasional car passing by from the other lane. Lucas was still very focused on the road and was trying to resist the urge to drive in high speeds like he really wanted to.

There were no speedometers in this stretch of road and just the thought of him being able to drive there at high speeds was exciting enough for him to try to tamp down his urges.

The both of them were able to resist their own urges, but for Jen, she couldn't fall asleep because of the coffee she had earlier so she was wide awake for the whole drive.

”Are we close?” Jen asked after another two and a half hours.

”Mmh, about fifteen minutes away,” Lucas answered. Jen had offered to help out but he had turned her down as he felt that he should be the one to drive since he was the one who had arranged the trip in the first place. Jen sighed in relief as she heavily leaned on her car seat.

”Tired?” Lucas asked as he briefly glanced in her direction.

”Not really, I'm just really bored,” Jen answered as she looked at the white scenery outside. There were trees, but it seemed that it was very cold outside.

After another ten minutes, they arrived at what seemed to be a cabin-style mansion. Jen glanced at Lucas who was nonchalantly parking the car at the driveway.

”You have a house in the middle of nowhere?” Jen asked once she got over her surprise. Calling it a house was an understatement, but there wasn't any other word she could think of on the spot.

”If that's how you would describe it then yeah, we have a house in the middle of nowhere,” Lucas said with an amused smile.

Lucas got out of the car and went to open the front door of the empty house. Jen got out after him and stood behind him while fidgeting as she rubbed her hands together and breathed into them. They were in the middle of what looked to be a forest, and everything was covered in white. From the ground, to the vegetation, to the house itself.

”Welcome,” Lucas said and opened the door to the house. He let her go inside first before following her in. The whole floor was made of wood and certain areas were covered rugs.

”There's a fireplace!” Jen said and turned around to show Lucas as if it was not his place. Lucas played along and gave her a tour of the house.

After they finished going around, they went to get their things from the car and arranged them in the house. At least Lucas tried to help but was chased away by Jen and asked to go rest since he had been busy since morning.
