“Where are we going?” North asked. “Let’s get some yummy food,” Brian said. The two went over to the buffet that was served at the main hall. “Do you see anything you feel like eating?” he asked.
North purposely asked for something less common. “Is there any barbecued food here?” “Of course. Over there.” Brian pointed to the barbecue section.
North was taken aback but excited as well as he exclaimed, “Whoa! Can I barbecue my own skewers? Will there be squid? What about lamb? Oh, and let’s get some sausages too. Mommy loves eating barbecued sausages. Come on! Let’s get some barbecue.” He dragged Brian toward the barbecue section.
“Slow down,” Brian said, but he sped up as well. At that moment, a young woman who looked to be 18 or 19 years old popped up in front of them. She seemed to be avoiding someone as she kept turning to check behind her as she ran. Just as she was about to bump into Brian, he quickly stepped aside. She ended up stumbling and letting out an ear- piercing scream. “Ahh!”
Brian frowned, it was at the very last second that he reached out to grab the girl before she fell. The girl ended up doing a 360-degree twirl before stumbling toward him again..
Anyone else who didn’t know what was happening would’ve thought she was dancing. Brian had expected her to fall toward him again. He wanted to help her steady herself, but he was still holding onto North with one hand and couldn’t let go in time, so he couldn’t do anything but watch as the girl crashed into him.
He might’ve fallen over, too, if he hadn’t been prepared for this. Brian’s expression was dark and stormy as he pushed her away with a frown of displeasure. The girl stared at him in a daze. Her large eyes blinked a few times before she replied, “Thanks, handsome!”
