"Alaric, have you ever considered that I'm all alone, too? If something hadn't happened, why would I have come here by myself? You think I wanted this? Enduring this excruciating pain in my foot…"
"What exactly happened?"
Jessica Sutton stole a glance at Alaric Davenport. "I was so scared. A giant boulder just came crashing down…"
"Is she okay?" Alaric Davenport asked anxiously, his brow furrowed.
Jessica Sutton was taken aback by the look in his eyes and stared at him blankly.
"I'm asking you a question," Alaric Davenport said, turning his head away, unwilling to look at her.
Jessica Sutton averted her gaze. Seeing him like this, she really didn't want to tell him. 'I'm dying of jealousy, yet I'm supposed to just let the two of them be happy.'
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
"Alaric… if I tell you, will you carry me back? I really can't walk anymore."
