Daniel resolved that he would not disappoint when presented with the generous intentions of such beautiful women. After all, it seemed a duty to appreciate the magnanimity of a lovely lady—if the chance arose.
"It's so dark?" Beauty zoned in on those three words as if they had flicked a nerve. During the gust of wind, she had inadvertently noticed that Victoria was wearing sexy, black undergarments. Was the country bumpkin Daniel looking at Victoria instead of her? The thought infuriated her even more, causing her initially pale cheeks to flush with redness.
Ever the blunt and volatile Beauty, she pointed straight at Daniel's nose, demanding an answer, "Country bumpkin, were your eyes wandering over to Victoria just now?"
"You mean Victoria's wearing black? What kind? " Daniel teased, oblivious to the storm he was stirring.
"You... I'll kick you to death!" Anger boiled over as Beauty started kicking Daniel repeatedly, intending to trounce this annoying man.
"Beauty, stop harrying Daniel. He wasn't peeping at me; he was behaving! It was you who snuck a glance at me," Victoria intervened on behalf of Daniel.
"You pervert, how dare you say I took a peek at you?" Beauty rebuffed. "I'd flip your skirt outright if I wanted to look!"
"Beauty, why are you still so unladylike, just like when you were a kid?" Daniel commented.
"What's so great about being a ladylike? So that men can walk all over me?" Beauty declared fiercely.
While she spoke, Beauty unintentionally glanced at the ground and stumbled upon a pile of worms wriggling unsettlingly—enough to make her skin crawl.
"Ah! Aaah!" She screamed instinctively and loudly out of pure fear.
Leading the way with his flashlight, Daniel guided them for about half an hour until they came to a cave suitable for setting up camp.
"This looks like a good spot to camp for the night. Let’s rest here," he declared, immediately getting to work.
He gathered dry wood to start a fire, which drove away the chill of the night and bathed them in a comfortable warmth.
Then, Daniel went above and beyond by constructing a strong bed out of tree bark. Suspended and possessing flexibility, the bed he fashioned offered a level of comfort close to a real bed. It certainly wasn’t the worst place they could spend the night.
Watching Daniel transform a barren cave into a cozy temporary dwelling made the two women see him in a slightly different light. The chill of disdain that had lingered between them began to thaw as the fire crackled.
