Amon looked ahead casually, pretending nothing had happened.
But a small smile remained on his face. After a moment, Scarlett quietly shifted her hand on the branch.
Her fingers brushed lightly against his. Amon noticed it. His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything. Their fingers remained close.
Almost touching. And then… Amon did it. He wrapped his palm around her hand.
Scarlett didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Amon asked casually, "By the way… what are you going to do once you get back home?"
Scarlett looked ahead calmly before replying, "What will I do once I go back home?... I don't know. The reason I came here for… was for nothing. But if there is anything that I want to do, then it would be… to spend time with my younger sisters."
Amon smiled slightly. "Oh… so you really love your sisters. What about your brothers?"
