Arrived In Longyearbyen (1)

There was a moment of silence before Scarlett continued her sentence.

"At that time, I was seriously injured and hospitalized for several months. Since then, I hid myself and took a year off from Fox activity. That's why, after my wounds healed, I returned to Island B..." A blooming smile crossed Scarlett's lips.

Xander slowly raised his hand to rub her cheek but remained silent, listening to her words.

Scarlett smiled at his sudden touch before continuing, "Well, even though that incident almost caused my death, I remember that it was because of that incident that I could meet you. If I hadn't had an accident, maybe I wouldn't have returned to Island B for a vacation, and we would never have met."

Xander couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled her into his arms. She was stunned, listening to how loudly Xander's heart was beating. She knew this man was holding back his anger.

After a while, they fell into silence, lost in their thoughts.
