Louis stopped in tracks, "What? Are you scared to stay here alone?"
"No, we’re in a woods. In case you encounter wild animals or something, you have a helper."
Violet shook her head and smiled ingratiatingly.
Louis looked at her, snickered, and took a big step forward.
"Just don't make a mess for me."
"No, Mr. Johnson, at least I'm capable of a few things."
"Is that so? Then don't get hungry and faint again."
The two came to the entrance of the cavern. The rain became lighter. Violet thought about it, took off her coat and draped it over her head.
"Mr. Johnson, let's use it together."
She was her coat as an umbrella?
Louis' eyes moved slightly as he helped her put her coat back on and took off his own.
"You come here."
Violet pursed her lips and walked under Louis' clothes.
She then turned on the light in her cell phone to illuminate the road ahead.
Light rain drifted in the air, like thin threads in the dim light.
The man exhaled lightly and opened his arms to hold her gently at his side.
In the silence of the night, he was like a warm harbor, making her feel more at ease.
Violet curled her lips and followed him forward.
"There are wild fruits here."
Not knowing how long they had been walking, Louis stopped in his tracks.
Violet froze and saw Louis throw his jacket to her, then stepped on dead branches on the ground and plucked two fruits from a tree.
Except for wild fruits, they should not be able to find anything else to eat in the woods.
However, was this kind of fruit really edible?
Violet swallowed and said with some hesitation, "What is this? Can I eat?"
"This should be red delicious. It’s edible."
Louis looked at Violet who was skeptical, rubbed the skin of the fruit, and took a bite.
Violet looked at him, "How does it taste?"
"Not bad."
