"Two days."
Perry Reed responded directly.
Glancing at him, Flossie Wright lifted her eyebrows unexpectedly.
After a pause, Perry Reed’s lips curved into a smirk, his voice low and seductive, "Can’t bear it?"
Flossie Wright looked away.
She couldn’t be bothered with him.
A moment later.
The end of his sentence lifted gently, Perry Reed’s voice was suggestive but natural and unrestrained.
Flossie Wright glanced at him sidelong, her gaze carrying a hint of threat.
Perry Reed slightly narrowed his eyes, amusement flickering within.
"What is it?" Flossie Wright asked coldly.
Not replying immediately, Perry Reed paused, raised his eyebrows at her, a faint smile lingering around him.
Flossie Wright instantly realized.
By responding, she’d be acknowledging that nickname, and so she felt awkward.
Flossie Wright’s elbow shot out.
Perry Reed was one step ahead, raising his hand to press down her elbow, drawing closer to her.
Narrowing her eyes, Flossie Wright’s gaze grew more dangerously cold.
At the same time—
Mariana Buck and Sandy Cruz’s attention fell on the two of them.
Their conversation and posture were unavoidably intimate.
They had both seen Glenn Hutchinson.
Last time, Glenn Hutchinson appeared on the cliff, and then, asserting his dominance, he took Flossie Wright away without a word from the Instructor.
And he’d arranged for her leave.
Even if it was their first time seeing Glenn Hutchinson, others would think that Flossie Wright and he were a couple.
Naturally, they hadn’t expected someone else to get involved.
And moreover—
He didn’t seem like a respectable character.
"It’s done."
Smelling the aroma of fish, Mariana Buck was the first to react, speaking out to Sandy Cruz.
Hearing her, Sandy Cruz withdrew his gaze, looking towards the several fish grilling over the fire.
The first three that had been on were partially charred.
Fortunately, they had realized it early enough to avoid a repeat of last night’s "tragedy."
"Any salt?"
After removing the wood underneath the three fish, Sandy Cruz raised his eyebrows slightly, asking Flossie Wright and Mariana Buck.
Mariana Buck frowned, "We used it all up last night."
Quickly, both their gazes fell on Flossie Wright.
Flossie Wright had just shrugged off Perry Reed’s hand when she looked up to meet their gazes, her brows knitting in thought.
She shrugged her shoulders.
They had only been given a little cooking salt; managing to make it last until now was quite remarkable.
It seemed Sandy Cruz had run out as well.
The three of them looked at each other.
Eat it as it is?
"I have some."
Just then, Perry Reed spoke unhurriedly.
All three turned their attention to him at once.
Flossie Wright looked at him with clear suspicion.
Being stared at with such mistrust, Perry Reed was not in the mood to tease her. Rummaging in his pocket, he pulled out a small packet of fine salt and, with a deep gaze, tossed it to Sandy Cruz.
Sandy Cruz caught it with his hand.
He gave Perry Reed a meaningful glance and then turned his attention to seasoning the fish with salt.
"You..." Flossie Wright looked at him thoughtfully.
Perry Reed tapped on her head, chuckling, "This is called ’foreseeing needs.’
Flossie Wright rolled her eyes at him.
The smile deepened on Perry Reed’s lips.
Of course, it wasn’t foreseeing needs.
Unlike Flossie Wright, Perry Reed rarely had to survive in the wilderness; places desolate and uninhabited would usually irritate him.
