Love Unspoken

Chapter 1249

The sun was dipping low, and Abigail still hadn't seen a single soul; just endless wasteland and mountains.

After driving all day, she finally pulled over, her hands and feet screaming from the fatigue. Slumping against the seat, she turned to Landon and asked, "You hungry or what?" She didn't really expect an answer. She got out and started digging through the trunk, hoping to find something to munch on.

No luck, just those two cases of water, and she'd already downed three bottles.

There was a little creek nearby, so she went over to wash her face. That's when she spotted some crabs in the water.

Her eyes lit up, and she kicked off her shoes, jumped into the creek, and started flipping rocks to catch the crabs.

Landon leaned against the car window, watching her splash around.

As the sun set, the river sparkled, making Abigail's figure look all hazy and glowing.

"Aw, hell no!" Abigail yelled, shattering the peaceful scene. She limped out of the water, plopped down on the ground, and saw a crab latched onto her toe.
