He knew that the cold will not threaten Suzanna’s health, but he still set up a magic shield that blocked the cold wind. He turned and saw Suzanna staring at him and grinned.

Suzanna smiled and shook her head. Both of them were trying to avoid confronting the truth, because the truth would remind Suzanna of some unhappy memories. She would rather keep her suffering to herself.

"What happened?" Anfey asked. "Since you left, I mean."
