Monica also stopped and looked at him with a puzzled expression, wondering why he wasn't walking. He took out his phone and earphones, tapped the screen with his well-defined fingers, and then hung the earphones around her neck. "Listen to music, don't listen to their nonsense."
Still confused, she let him help her put on the earphones, and a song began to play. He adjusted the volume to a suitable level, put the phone back in his pocket, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder again, leading her forward. The beautiful melody and lyrics quickly captivated her thoughts and drowned out the surrounding gossip. Monica gradually immersed herself in another world and felt less afraid.
The morning dew began to thin, and they followed the innkeeper along the green stone path. There weren't many tourists, making the place even more serene. Monica admired the beauty of the ancient town, listening to the folk-style songs, and felt content beside the man she liked.
"Claire! Claire?!" Not far ahead, Rowan was running and searching. He was coming towards them, already sweating on his forehead. Tristan and Monica saw him at the same time and both paused in surprise. Rowan walked anxiously, glancing around as if searching for something, taking out his phone to make a call, but no one answered.
"Claire! Where are you?! Claire! Come out!!" Rowan was really worried. Tristan and Monica stopped walking, and she even took off her earphones, hearing Rowan calling for Claire. When they were only three meters apart, Rowan finally saw them.
Rowan, who had been searching anxiously, stopped in his tracks, holding his phone. Why were they here too? Tristan had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Rowan approached him, "Have you... seen Claire?" He sounded panicked. From the fear and panic in his eyes, Tristan realized that Claire was missing. His heart sank heavily, plummeting to the bottom!
