Project Camping
I was pissed. I turned away from Han and exhaled audibly. Great… four days into the life of our dreams and we were already arguing. While I stared out of the dusty window, watching the green forest leisurely passing by, I did not notice the whites of Han´s knuckles. Clutching the steering wheel, she tried to suppress a sob.***The silence was unnerving. Tiff usually never stopped chattering. Never. In this ringing silence I was hyperaware of every clunking noise the cups in the back of the van made. We should secure them better, I thought to myself abswww.onedoor.ccent-mindedly.
