Vivian felt her heart racing a little. "Um... did I sleep for a long time?"

The dim light inside the carriage hinted at dusk. As their eyes met, the silence between them grew heavy, as if they could hear each other's heartbeat.

Vivian shook her head. "Not really. Let's just get off."

Maybe it was because she had just woken up, so she didn't feel hungry.
