"What?!" Scarlett's scream shattered the silence, her voice echoing through the cave like a siren.
Her outburst drew everyone's attention, Ethan, Louise, Rose, Larry, and Maya who turned to face her with alarm.
"What's wrong?" Ethan asked, his face etched with worry as he rushed toward her. Kneeling down, he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, his gaze locked on hers.
"It's nothing," Scarlett replied with tears already rolling down her cheeks, her voice trembling. She reached up to brush Ethan's hand away, but before she could, Garvin intervened.
"What's with the touch?" Garvin snapped, swatting Ethan's hand off her shoulder. His expression was sharp, his annoyance evident. "Can't you just ask a question without invading her space?"
Ethan straightened, his eyes narrowing as he turned his attention to Garvin. "What did you do to her? Why is she crying?" he demanded, suspicion lacing his tone.
