This was the first time Quincy had spoken so much at once.
He was usually the type to keep his words to a minimum. "Stop crying. We're still here, safe and sound. Isn't that proof enough that we've been really lucky?"
He tried to smile, hoping to lift Lydia's spirits. Lydia wiped her eyes with her sleeve and nodded, "You're right."
The night air was bitterly cold, and a chill swept through the cave, causing Lydia to shiver involuntarily.
Quincy noticed her discomfort and hesitated for a moment before clearing his throat. He then suggested a bit awkwardly, "If we stay closer, it might help us stay warm."
His suggestion was subtle, but Lydia immediately understood. Her face flushed, but her body acted on instinct, moving closer to him without hesitation.
Quincy, after all, was a strong man, and his body radiated warmth like a small furnace. Lydia instantly felt a wave of comfort and safety wash over her.
Without thinking, she gently wrapped her arms around his waist. Quincy tensed up in surprise, clearly not expecting such an intimate gesture from Lydia.
With her head resting on his shoulder, Lydia whispered, "Quincy, meeting you is the best luck I've had."
At that moment, something shifted between them. Quincy was momentarily stunned but managed to respond, "Meeting you is my luck too."
At that moment, the once-annoying buzz of cicadas in the surrounding forest seemed to fade into the background. Quincy spoke softly, "When we get back, I'll make sure to take you somewhere nice to unwind."
Hearing this, Lydia chose not to dampen the mood with doubt. She found herself hoping for the best, thinking that as long as they made it through the night, they would surely find their way out the next morning.

Can you add more chapters per day please...
Don't tell me 🤯 Is Nina pharaoh's daughter?...
Meanwhile why is Nina playing hard to get? What else does she want from the man? I bet if Nash ever declares to kove the baby unconditionally she might soften up but lady just spill the secret he would be overjoyed!...
I see you increased the number of chapters per day by 2, but please can we have like 20 chapters per day? 7 chapters is too little, the suspense is just crazy...
