Scout & Bella got into his Jeep quietly and it basically stayed that way the whole trip home. She couldn't even look at him as he kept himself busy by messing with the radio knob every couple of minutes. Scout eased his way into a space two houses dowb from Bella's. As he shut off the motor and sank back into the driver's seat, the silence continued to eat both of them alive.
"So.."

"Yeah..."

"Well I hope..."

"Yeah I hope you did too."

"Goodnight Scout."

"Night Bella."

As he gestured to get out of the car, she motioned for him to go, getting out of the car and shutting the car door just enough to crush Scout's hopes for the evening a little harder. he watched her make her way up the pavement and onto her porch. Scout started gus Jeep and switched on his high beam lights as the sky began to leak a slight haze over the clear night. Then suddenly a glimmer of hope. Just as Bella turned the key she caught his beams on her, she turned, looked and from a distance, smiled and waved. A sigh of relief escaped through Scout's mouth as he did the same back, driving off with mix emotions for the following days to come.
