"I didn't! I'm not... No!"

Vera began to frown and mutter in her sleep.

Confused, Quill thought she was talking to him before he realized her eyes were still closed despite her constant stream of words.

It turned out that she was talking in her sleep.

However, sweat poured from her forehead as she spoke. Her brows were tightly knit, looking distressed.

"I didn't... I really didn't..."

Then, Quill frowned as he approached her. He gently patted her cheek, trying to wake her up. "Vivy, Vivy?"

Vera continued to sleep-talk.

Thus, Quill could only try to comfort her, "Okay, okay, you're not. You're just dreaming. Don't be afraid."

He took his handkerchief out to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.

Eventually, Vera quieted down. She stopped talking, and she had obviously calmed down.

After that, she fell sound asleep again.

Quill sighed. His poor girl.

He kissed her nose before he warmed up her hand with his own.

Vera slept for a long time this time around. The sky was already dark by the time she woke up, and the train arrived at the station at three in the middle of the night.

She didn't know if it was because of the nightmare, but Vera woke up in a horrible mood. She just sat there with a blank stare, and she didn't have much of an appetite. Despite cajoling her to eat, she remained spiritless. So he didn't dare to force her with his previous methods again. In the end, Vera finally took a few bites after some gentle coaxing. Then, Vera looked at him with a blank expression.

"Quill."

"Hm?"

"Do you love me?"

Quill didn't know how to answer.

Stunned, he hadn't expected Vera to ask such a question. He looked at her in silence as he pursed his lips, not answering her question.

Vera waited for a moment before she smiled at the lack of reply. "Forget it. We've already broken up. Does it still matter whether you love me or not?"

Then, Vera remained grim until the train arrived at the station.
