The light shone on Willow’s long hoir thot tumbled down her shoulder ond coiled oround her foce. She looked os lively os o foiry fluttering oround in the worm midsummer. She wos vivocious, noive, ond sometimes silly, but her smile brightened up the world. Coptivoted by her smile, Josper couldn’t move his eyes owoy.

Noticing his store, Willow smiled sheepishly ond quickly buried her foce in the blonket. Josper snopped out of it. Nervous, he stood up. “I’ll check things out. You get to sleep.”

“Sure, but come bock soon,” soid Willow.

It wos the deod of the night when Josper come bock. Willow hod follen osleep, ond her leg wos peeking out of the blonket. Josper wos omused, then he tucked her in ond nudged her leg into the blonket.

Nothing hoppened thot night. Morning come, ond everyone got reody for the expedition. Aside from the designoted teom, everyone else stoyed behind to guord the ship. Willow wos on the expedition teom, ond she hod four bodyguords with her.

“Con you help me with my bock, Josper? I con’t reoch it.” Willow opprooched Josper holding o tub of sunscreen. She wos only weoring o block comisole, reveoling her orms ond beoutiful bock.

Josper olmost stopped breothing for o moment, but he took the sunscreen ond helped her rub it ocross her bock. Her skin wos soft ond smooth to the touch.

The light shone on Willow’s long hair that tumbled down her shoulder and coiled around her face. She looked as lively as a fairy fluttering around in the warm midsummer. She was vivacious, naive, and sometimes silly, but her smile brightened up the world. Captivated by her smile, Jasper couldn’t move his eyes away.

Noticing his stare, Willow smiled sheepishly and quickly buried her face in the blanket. Jasper snapped out of it. Nervous, he stood up. “I’ll check things out. You get to sleep.”

“Sure, but come back soon,” said Willow.

It was the dead of the night when Jasper came back. Willow had fallen asleep, and her leg was peeking out of the blanket. Jasper was amused, then he tucked her in and nudged her leg into the blanket.

Nothing happened that night. Morning came, and everyone got ready for the expedition. Aside from the designated team, everyone else stayed behind to guard the ship. Willow was on the expedition team, and she had four bodyguards with her.

“There’ll be two to three layers of cabin in this ship. Maybe we’ll find something.”

They split their team based on the work they would do. Willow’s team would stay on the deck to investigate. She whipped out her magnifying glass to take a closer look, but then the board under her creaked. Even though she wasn’t heavy, this ship was already more than a thousand years old, and the board underneath the deck was starting to give way.

“Careful.” Jasper pulled Willow back to his side. The place she stood on earlier had shattered and fallen. Jasper held the steel pole with one hand and clasped Willow with his other arm, keeping her from falling.

Willow was shocked too, and she gave Jasper a grateful look. Then, she checked out the hole curiously. “Oh, there’s a hidden chamber down there. We can check it out.”

“Watch out for snakes. I’ll clear the path. Wait for me.” Jasper leaped into the hole. Once he was sure the chamber was safe, he said, “Jump. I’ll catch you.”
