"You are speaking as though you have been here many times without me," Joanna casually said, still gazing at the dark forest.
She turned to stare at him when he didn't reply to her word which was supposed to be a tease.
"Don't tell me you have actually been here more than once without me?" She guessed while looking at the face of the unusually quiet Kayden.
"Is my guess…,"
"Let's go. I am sure you will feel a lot better after entering it," He ignored her question and dashed into the forest, unlike his normal self who would have held Joanna's hands.
"It looks like he is trying to ignore the topic, but why?" She gazed at the back of the guy who had covered a significant distance from where she stood.
Entering the forest, the hooting of the owls, the swaying of tree branches, the smell of wood and so many other familiar things made the memories of the past flood into her head.
