The ride to Jake's family residence was quiet and a bit awkward.

Jake didn't know what to say to Zoey.

She looked like she had just seen a ghost or in her case, heard a ghost.

As Jake drove home, he put his left hands on the steering wheel and placed his second hand on Zoey's.

"Everything will be alright." Jake said to Zoey with a small smile.

"I hope." Zoey whispered quietly.

That was all he could gather, no matter how hard he thought.

He wanted to reassure her that everything would be fine but he wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say in this situation....
