"Chloe..." she paused, seemingly forgetting Chloe's name for a moment.
Chloe pursed her lips, not surprised at all.
That was just Cicely for sure, she was a social butterfly. She could get chummy with anyone in no time, but never really dug deep in any relationship.
Remembering Chloe's name, that was quite a feather in Chloe's cap.
"Why are you sitting here?" Chloe asked.
She didn't dare to outright ask when she got out of prison, just hinted at it.
"I was just passing by. The smell on the bus was getting to me, so I decided to chill here for a bit." Cicely said.
Chloe nodded. She knew, if there was a contest for who had the most swanky, extravagant life, Cicely would win hands down.
She didn't exactly warm the cockles of people’s heart, and it wasn't because she was a bad egg. It was just her character, her appearance.
Chloe thought for a bit, then asked, "Where are you off to? I could give you a lift."
Cicely glanced at her and retorted, "Where are you headed?"
"I'm going to the nearby orphanage." Chloe said.
Cicely's eyes flickered for a moment, then she opened the passenger side door of the car.
"Long time no see, I've got some time to kill, I can tag along to the orphanage, then you can drop me home." Cicely said.
Chloe sized her up for a moment, then glanced at the rearview mirror to her left, spotting a car parked across the street. Her eyebrows twitched slightly.
She thought for a moment, then got out of the car. She then circled around it, got back in to start the car, and continued on.
Cicely's expression didn't change, but her hands clenched tightly into fists, clearly on edge.
Upon reaching the orphanage, Chloe parked the car, and the staff immediately came out to greet them
, "Chloe, you're here!"
