Luca had drunk from the bottle earlier…

Luca saw that Luke had gulped down more than half of the water in his bottle. She could tell that he was thirsty and tired. She thought for a while and said, “Mr. Crawford, I mixed some glucose in my bottle. Do you want to drink from this?”

Luke looked at her and said nothing.

“But I already drank from it. It’s okay if you mind it…” Luca thought he did not want to drink from the same bottle as her. When she was about to keep it in her backpack, Luke opened his mouth.

“You should save it for yourself,” he said.

He thought that Luca needed more nourishment than him because she was hurt. They only had two bottles of drinkable water between them, and looking at the heavy rain outside, they might have to spend the night there.

That was why Luke did not want to take the bottle from her.

“Alright then…” Luca thought that he was disgusted by the offer. She did not say anything and put the bottle back into her backpack.

The strong wind continued to blow. Luca felt that her tracksuit was already dry, but the undershirt…

The undershirt was not going to dry. The contrast between dry and wet made it more uncomfortable than ever.

Luca had the urge to remove her undershirt, but they were outdoors, and Luke was watching…

She had to bear with it.

The sky continued to darken. The light in the gazebo and along the mountain path gradually lit up. Luca felt forlorn when she looked at the lights.

Fog began to rise, and visibility was low. The lights in the distance were but a dim blur.

She could only hear the sounds of wind and rain.

Luke did not say anything. She did not say anything either.
