"Me and her..."
Sandy Cruz’s voice was heavy, yet as indifferent and aloof as ever, as if he was discussing something utterly unrelated to himself.
His words were concise, almost devoid of any superfluous fluff.
It was like a summary.
One, he was engaged to Mariana Buck.
Two, he and Mariana Buck had been childhood friends.
Three, Mariana Buck had a first love, now they had broken up.
That was it.
Flossie Wright was somewhat embarrassed.
From her observations, Mariana Buck still seemed to care about Sandy Cruz.
She wasn’t sure if it was love.
After all, she’d been with Sandy Cruz for so long, and hadn’t seen Mariana Buck seek him out.
However, what she wanted to know was not their past, but their current situation.
Sandy Cruz deliberately avoided the topic.
Flossie Wright didn’t feel it right to probe further.
Forcing the issue over and over wasn’t her style.
"What about you?"
In the end, Sandy Cruz asked in a flat voice.
Responding nonchalantly, Flossie Wright lifted her legs up again.
Lying flat.
Her hands crossed, she placed them beneath her head as a pillow.
"Glenn Hutchinson." Sandy Cruz cut straight to the chase.
Ever since that person had arrived and people around discussed him, Sandy Cruz had taken note of the name.
"Him?" Flossie Wright raised her eyes to look at the banana leaves overhead, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "I reckon that’s unlikely."
Sandy Cruz watched her.
Saying lazily, Flossie Wright turned over.
Her back to him.
Sandy Cruz withdrew his gaze to look at the campfire burning before him.
The two of them, it wasn’t necessarily impossible.
That was his first instinct at the time.
A silent night passed.
The sky was still sprinkling a fine drizzle, carrying a hint of coolness in such weather.
Quite cold.
The dawn was yet to arrive.
Looking up, the darkness remained unrelieved.
Sitting on a stone, Flossie Wright yawned lazily, her left index finger propped against her chin, watching the still fiercely burning campfire.
If this rain continued, it would be difficult to find the Sanctuary tonight.
Thinking this, Flossie Wright picked up her handmade bamboo tongs and flipped the two slices of wild boar meat roasting on the fire.
"You’re up?"
Just as she flipped the slices, Flossie Wright’s brow twitched slightly, and she glanced back over her shoulder.
In the moment she lifted her eyes, Sandy Cruz had already jumped down from above.
Flossie Wright’s eyes flickered.
In fact, Sandy Cruz had only slept for two hours last night.
Flossie Wright had gone to sleep around ten o’clock the previous night, but Sandy Cruz kept watch throughout, and only around three in the morning did she wake up naturally.
And sent him up to sleep.
With black bears and Poisonous Bugs about, venturing alone was inevitably nerve-wracking, requiring constant vigilance, making a peaceful night’s sleep difficult.
When two people were together, the best method was to take shifts.
Unexpectedly—
Flossie Wright furrowed her brows.
"Did you do this?"
Walking over, Sandy Cruz looked down and scanned the two slices of wild boar meat.
Flossie Wright nodded heavily.
Sandy Cruz was left speechless.
Above the fire, both slices of wild boar meat were half charred, and the parts now being roasted were clearly—
Undercooked.
She was truly a talent.
Sandy Cruz thought to himself.
