Their moment of respite was interrupted by Leon, who approached with a serious expression.

“We need to go. They’re catching up!”

Carlisle and Wanda quickly turned around to see the group of elderly women resuming their charge. They all wore expressions of determination. Two security guards were among them, batons in hand.

Leon interjected with a chuckle, “He’s your boyfriend. What are you afraid of? I’m just a photographer, pretend I’m not here…”

Encouraged by Leon’s words, Wanda finally moved forward and carefully leaned onto Carlisle’s back.
