Anthonio and Joana remained silent as the car kept moving at speed

The pin silence that engulfed the car made Joana keep yawning and swaying her head to the soft music proceeding from the car.

“You love music?” Antonio breaks the silence.

Joana nodded her head, smiling to herself.

“ Yes, I do,” She replied.

For one week that they’ve known each other now, Joana observed that Anthonio was always picky with things.

    What!” Matthew exclaimed. Derrick’s proposal was grave; putting life and death as options. He held the knife in his hands fiddling with it while thinking about his decisions. War or peace? Matthew scoffed,” What a deadly proposal “ He clenched his hands to his chin, not willing to be apprehensive. After much thought, he placed the knife back in the box and took it out of sight.
