Exactly ten dollars.
"Flossie, what are you doing here?"
As she went to checkout, she suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching.
Flossie Wright looked up.
She saw the figures of Stuart Weston and Calvin Ramos.
One in front of the other.
Each of them was carrying two cases of water with ease, not even frowning.
However, compared to Stuart’s enthusiasm, Calvin’s attitude was much colder.
"Shopping."
Raising her eyebrows slightly, Flossie tossed the playing cards in her hand.
"Playing cards?"
"Yeah." Nodding her head, Flossie then asked, "What are you guys doing...?"
"Oh, we came to carry water."
Stuart explained.
To carry meant, they didn’t need to pay for it.
"Hard work."
Flossie said so as a formality.
Stuart laughed, "I’ll go account for this first."
After saying so, carrying two cases of water, he went straight to the counter.
Flossie paused for a moment and looked over at Calvin, who had stopped to the side.
He was also sizing her up.
A calm look, with no sign of danger – indeed, it was Calvin Ramos.
"You guys," she paused, then raised an eyebrow, "still get along well?"
"None of your business."
Calvin responded coldly.
With a light laugh, Flossie shook her head slightly and walked toward the counter as well.
She was going to pay.
"Should I wait for you?"
Having quickly accounted, Stuart turned his head to ask Flossie.
She said in a subdued voice as she handed over the ten dollars.
Stuart looked at her, his gaze quite strange.
Thinking for a moment, Stuart found an excuse, "Do you need to buy anything else?"
"Then what else are you going to do?" Stuart couldn’t help but ask.
The bill was settled, and she wasn’t walking with them...
What else did she want to do?
"Going back."
Stuart was completely silent.
He wasn’t dumb, Stuart quickly figured out the reason – she just didn’t want to walk with them, that’s all.
"I’ll go ahead."
Seeing that he didn’t move, Flossie waved her hand and headed straight for the door.
"Wait a minute!"
Stuart called out to her.
Stopping in her tracks, Flossie turned to look at him.
Stuart quickly opened the top box, took out a bottle of water, twisted it open, and tossed it to her, "Here, take this for now."
Flossie caught it with her hand.
Looking down at the bottle of mineral water in her hand, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
Surprised by Stuart’s thoughtfulness.
Shaking the bottle of mineral water in her hand, Flossie smiled with her lips and turned to leave.
No sooner had she stepped out the door than Stuart and Calvin followed close behind.
However, the three of them kept a certain distance.
About a ten-minute walk.
From a distance seeing the crowd, Flossie put the playing cards in her pocket and quickened her pace.
She hadn’t gone far when her steps came to a halt.
She heard the sound of a guitar being played.
The tune was slow but carried a majestic air, as if it was coming right at her.
It was the melody of "Military Anthem."
Instinctively looking up, Flossie saw a figure standing in the middle of the crowd.
Mariana Buck.
She held her guitar, her head bowed as she played, the light shining on her and casting a long shadow.
The surrounding people were all silent.
