11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f051hYzvH

The first rays of sunrise slowly painted the sky with shades of orange and gold.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FQ9X580mS

The cold breeze brushed against their faces as Methon and Valindra continued walking beside the river.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMoP4s0tmS

Valindra suddenly stopped.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvh8Y8lLqs

Her eyes sparkled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAEhOTaba1

"Oh!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS07rsUPB25

She pointed toward the clear flowing water.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36m6ykTKHl

"We're going in."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtFQ9spWh8

Methon looked at her in disbelief.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsh3FVqBRt

"What?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ0U9DYS88

"The river."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqBkSXJSUd

"We're taking a bath."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMNWFlmyPX

He immediately shook his head.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG1EwNwzPs

"No."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedVshjlHXr

"Why not?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSHS8hwZWS

"The water is freezing."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5OiarQYF

She laughed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg8OS21vG3

"So?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aNmJlZByv

"I'll catch a cold."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbxNHt2eWF

"You won't."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0BfjGJ13i

"I don't want to."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBto6tLLMJ

Valindra folded her arms dramatically.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5VGbraWKl

"You've been saying 'I don't want to' since yesterday."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSDEHzPGc

"You don't want to smile."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgBqMl60rf

"You don't want to laugh."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzU5wEVjnt

"You don't want to travel."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI4hf3YYHG

"You don't want to enjoy life."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGJNd0GsmM

She smiled mischievously.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO74EeQiwaH

"Today..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74rQOOJnu3

"You don't have a choice."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaK2I9PsVj

Before Methon could react, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward the riverbank.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJmq9Sj9e

"Valindra!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTnLKoJewM

"Relax!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9fx1yk1E

She stepped into the cool water without hesitation.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn95USx6ywy

The water reached her knees.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8h65KN1RI

She closed her eyes, spread her arms, and took a deep breath.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4BN1CK9nc

"See?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmbZoeCMlt

"It feels amazing."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Z4iQh1dS

Methon remained standing on the bank.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UNyLqXzz0

She looked back at him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTLQFPb4xd

"Trust me."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4jrI0Hr8

He hesitated.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLT2DjQyhS

For a few seconds...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSikHldL3n

Then finally stepped into the water.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhfOefUQjG

The icy current touched his feet.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgd2scFJ5T

He immediately stepped back.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0VDZI3zpC

"It's cold!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSOtoWi0uK

Valindra burst into laughter.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUJSispd5W

"You sound like a little kid."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJH8Jcx7N

She splashed water at him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bNVQnUa6P

A few drops landed on his face.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860BcQhJab

He looked at her in shock.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97TXuJWCdr

"You did not just do that."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT18W6DEQt

"I absolutely did."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOntE0TK01d

He smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZdQAbwfOp

Then, for the first time...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtnnZv5K3

He splashed water back.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnja0lcTwHQ

Valindra gasped dramatically.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXq7M7aR1G

"So..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkL6XjKPpL

"The silent CEO finally decided to fight?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7q7f92lhy

The next few minutes turned into a playful battle.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpFecYC9dT

They laughed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hTsbeWNha

They chased each other through the shallow water.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOEFto9IUM

The sound of their laughter echoed across the quiet river.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgvTMfTfTf

Neither of them noticed how quickly time passed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppbtBr3nBf

Finally, exhausted, they climbed onto the riverbank and sat together beneath a large tree.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhtafcClsX

Their clothes were wet.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaun8ShRWgv

Their faces were glowing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqV8jRV982

Valindra smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uDzkUXUZB

"So?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HFH7fg60D

Methon looked at the flowing river.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzTmOAtHA

"I haven't laughed like this..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlU9D6svYz

"...in a very long time."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhtPulU6CT

"I told you."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO7gD09RlH

She smiled proudly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHxpdIdzu9

"Nature heals."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pTDMvFeu4

"It doesn't ask questions."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k5TdhU5RN

"It doesn't judge."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Z6CB1Ufd

"It simply reminds you..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZz0CS08nO

"...that life keeps flowing."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcilEyPcl4P

Methon quietly nodded.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXroEl8JVk

For the first time since Ilana's betrayal...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXIzMOKeG

He no longer felt completely broken.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvMWVEQjeA

Valindra looked at him with a satisfied smile.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGCQDhjaNI

"Mission accomplished."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fJY6UrVuJ

"What mission?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHFBWf5wwO

"Making you smile."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgybuYfvXrI

Methon laughed softly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60yRCVgIwk

"You really are impossible."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKLowalxQH

"And you're finally smiling."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn23LzUENHT

She stood up and stretched her arms toward the bright morning sky.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaJtYBcjga

"Come on."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmd2q3wBTl

"We still have a long journey ahead."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zW9wmLzj3

Methon stood beside her.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNdLTjsrm0

For the first time...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuesVehLZ6P

He wasn't walking because he had nowhere else to go.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVfbr1Nbn

He was walking because, somehow...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVoAKzXnC

He wanted this journey to continue.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g1AoMoVMZ
