Chapter 18: The Kiss

It is almost twilight when Caspian reaches the willow tree. He is so lost in his thoughts on the events in their realm that he does not notice that he has reached the end of the trail from the forest. He is even surprised that Anna is waiting at the willow tree, staring straight at him with a frown on her face.

"Caspian, are you alright? Popsie said everything is back to normal in the Valley. But you still look worried?" Anna starts to inquire.

"Anna, sorry I was not able to come sooner, after I hurriedly left from the Diner this morning. Yes, the valley is fine." Caspian walks up to Anna, still with a serious face. He closes the distance between them and embraces Anna unexpectedly.
