"You'd really do anything for this little mistake, huh?"

Mark's laugh sent shivers down my spine. "Well, I suppose keeping it isn't entirely out of the question."

I followed Mark from the cabin to the deck.

As we disembarked, he insisted on holding my hand, and I couldn't break free.

"Mark."

I turned towards the voice and saw a man in a purple suit approaching us.

He was pale, but his lips were a striking red.

With his blond curls and blue eyes, he looked like something out of a fairy tale.

"Samuel," Mark introduced us.

"So, this is the woman you'd go to the ends of the earth for?"

Samuel eyed me up and down. "Sure, you're good-looking, but that's about it. Can't figure out why Greg's so into you."

Silence fell over us like an awkward night.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Samuel turned his attention back to Mark. "I've arranged a place for her to rest. I need to talk to you about something." Mark sensed something was off. "What's left to discuss?"
