SACRED CREATURE (2)
"I think you are right."
"Hm?" Hazel let Micah dry her hair and he did it effortlessly, as if he had done it countless times before. "Am I?" What was she right about?
"There is something wrong with the river," Micah said.
"How so?" Hazel whipped her head around to look at Micah, because she didn't expect something like that from him. He was not serious, right? Or was he just teasing her?
However, Micah proceeded to wipe her face with a towel when she turned her head, so she couldn't see his expression.
"Micah!" Hazel took away the towel from his hand and then looked at him seriously. "Tell me, what do you mean by that?" She was so eager to know. She felt her heart beating so fast. She was on the verge of crying thinking that she made the biggest mistake by telling them to come here and waste everyone's time.
