Sophie Sullivan was exhausted. Looking at Thomas Shannon, who was still brimming with energy and vigor, she decided to go for broke. She didn't care about anything anymore; gathering all her strength, she leaped.
She jumped onto his back, tightly hugging his neck and clamping her legs around his lean waist to prevent herself from falling.
"Maniac," Thomas Shannon said, stopping in his tracks.
Sophie Sullivan clung to his neck, terrified he would shake her off. "I won't get down, not even if I die!"
"Are you planning to cling to me for a lifetime?"
"Yes, I'm going to cling to you for a lifetime!"
Thomas Shannon raised his hand to support her butt, the smile at the corner of his mouth deepening. "Remember what you said."
Sophie Sullivan was content and replied perfunctorily, "I remember, I remember."
Lying on Thomas Shannon's back was much more comfortable than riding camels.
