She's fine

Within minutes, you're driving down Tanner Street at a crawl. Sure enough, you see Miranda leaning against a street light. You pull up in front of her and she hops in.

"Hey John. Thanks."

"No problem." You pull back on the road.

"I'm sorry if I was a little shitty during the phone call. It's been a... rough night with the ghost and all."

"It's fine. I was a bit scared myself."

"You're sure Nicole's okay?"

"Totally. She's sound asleep."

"Maybe we should go back to her place. My parents won't mind."

"Sure... That's a good idea." You stammer, as Nicole's confession rings through your head.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Just a bit tired." You add a nervous chuckle to really convince Miranda of the opposite.

The rest of the drive remains uncomfortably silent. A silence that allows your doubts to flow freely in your mind. Is it really the best idea to drop Miranda off at Nicole's house after what Nicole had confessed? Are you on the verge of ruining a friendship and your chances with your crush?

Once you pull into Nicole's driveway, you lead Miranda inside.

"Can I get you anything?" You ask.

"I'm fine. Think I might just go to bed."

"Sure. You wanna sleep in her parent's room? They're not here right now."

Miranda shrugs. "Suppose they won't know any better."

You lead Miranda to the bedroom, wondering if she can tell something is plaguing your mind. Again, the silence leaves you alone with your thoughts. Once Miranda is bed, you head back to Nicole and try to get some rest of your own. Unfortunately, your brain can't stop thinking about everything that's transpired, from the encounter with a ghost, to Nicole's confession, and to how she will react to Miranda.
