The Woman From Hell

We came to a large road after exiting the mountain road.

Theo said he was nearby, and after driving a certain distance, I saw several cars parked in front. It was probably them.

I stopped and got out of the car.

Theo was leaning against the car under the sun. The worry on his face was clearly visible. I walked toward him and called out his name, "Theo!"

Hearing my voice, he looked at me instantly.

He also came toward me on long legs and threw himself into my arms. I took in the familiar scent on his body, and my heart suddenly calmed down. I no longer had to worry about whether the pursuers would appear. It was over.

"Is everything okay?" Theo's voice was slightly low and hoarse. I looked at the dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days.

I shook my head and pulled out a smile. "I'm fine. How are the children?"

"Very good. I told Munchkin that you were on a business trip."

"That's good."
