Thellia nudged Rosette. "Is that her? I can't see that far."
"I can see Hennesse."
Thellia held Rosette's hand and began to speed her pace, dragging Rosette along with her to Hennesse's direction.
"Nessa!" Thellia waved from afar, grabbing Hennesse's attention.
Hennesse's lips turned to a smile. "Hello!" She greets from her post. She noticed a figure following behind them.
"Oh? Rosette brought her lover."
"They look like it, don't they? Though, she said they were not in that kind of relationship." Thellia spoke, laughing.
"I think it's the atmosphere between them."
"....."
"The two of you are talking like I can't hear you." Rosette's lips pressed on a line.
"What was his name again?" Hennesse asked.
"Reagan."
"What are the odds, both of your na-......."
Thellia feigned a sigh. She couldn't get Lyle off her mind.
"Where should we go first?" Rosette asked.
"I asked around earlier, most said they were looking forward to today's beauty contest and play."
"What time does it start?" Asked Thellia.
"The beauty contest starts in twelve noon, but the play is already on going."
"Shall we watch the play?"
"Let's see it first."
'Is it because I've gotten used to it?'
'Lyle would always buy me skewers whenever we go out...'
"Wait, I still need to buy the barbecue." Thellia said.
'At times, it's quite a burden to carry this fondness.'
"Wait for me, I'll be back!"
"Wow, you're fast." Hennesse spoke as she watched Thellia return with a handful of skewers.
"They're not back yet?" Thellia asked.
"Unfortunately."
"They must be getting affectionate somewhere."
"Pftt!"
"What about you? Where's your lover?"
"What?" Thellia frowned. "I don't have one."
"You're lying! I was laughing so hard when your lover got jealous after he mistook me as a man... My~ how romantic!"
Thellia felt the heat rise to her cheeks.
"He's not my lover." She said quietly.
"Then what? Friends with benefits?"
Cough!
"What? Don't tell me I'm wrong, there's obviously something going on between the two of you."
"Well... It's..." Thellia trailed, unable to finish her sentence.
"Oh, they're back!" Thellia said, trying to redirect Hennesse's attention.
"Finally!" Hennesse exclaimed.
"We thought the two of you had ditched us." said Thellia.
"Nonsense." Rosette answered.
"Should we continue to the play?"
