The weekend arrived, and Fox and Yanna had planned a special outing to escape the tension and enjoy each other's company. They decided on a hike at a nearby trail, surrounded by nature's beauty, hoping it would help strengthen their bond.

As they climbed the trail, the sun filtering through the trees, Fox took Yanna's hand, feeling the warmth of her presence.

Fox: "I'm really glad we're doing this. It feels good to just be us."

Yanna smiled, the worries of the past few days fading away as they enjoyed the fresh air. "Yeah, it's nice to take a break from everything."

They reached a clearing with a breathtaking view, and Yanna gasped at the sight. "Wow! It's beautiful!"

Fox pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Just like you," he whispered, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

As they stood together, Yanna felt her heart swell. "You know, I've been thinking a lot about us," she admitted.

Fox looked down at her, his expression serious. "Me too. I want to make sure we're both on the same page."

Yanna took a deep breath, the weight of her insecurities lifting as she spoke. "I know Rikka is trying to come between us, and I won't let her. But I also want to be honest. I need you to reassure me sometimes."

Fox nodded, understanding her need for security. "I'll do whatever it takes to make you feel secure. You mean everything to me, and I'm not going anywhere."

Their eyes locked, and in that moment, Yanna felt the strength of their connection solidify. She leaned in, capturing his lips in a soft kiss, feeling the tension of the past few weeks melt away.

But as they pulled away, Yanna's expression darkened. "What if she doesn't give up?"

Fox frowned, concern creeping back into his mind. "Then we face it together. No matter what, we'll be honest with each other. Rikka won't break us."

Yanna nodded, feeling the strength of his words. "Together."

Rikka leaned against a tree, her heart racing as she watched Fox and Yanna share their moment of intimacy. The sight made her blood boil. She had never been one to lose without a fight, and Fox was the prize she was determined to win back.

As she stood there, an idea began to form in her mind. She knew that Yanna's insecurities could be her weapon. If she could exploit those doubts, perhaps she could create enough distance between them for Fox to reconsider their connection.

Later that day, Rikka sat in her room, contemplating her plan. She began drafting a series of texts to send to Fox, each designed to provoke thoughts about Yanna and create a sense of doubt. With each word, she crafted a narrative that painted Yanna as emotionally unstable and clingy—everything Fox didn't want.

Rikka smirked as she typed, her fingers dancing across the screen.

Text to Fox:
"Hey, just checking in! I hope you're doing okay. I saw you with Yanna earlier. Are you sure she's right for you? I just worry she might be too needy. You deserve someone who truly gets you!"

She hit send, her heart pounding with excitement and anticipation.

The next day at school, Fox received Rikka's message while he was in the middle of a conversation with Yanna. He frowned, feeling a pang of discomfort as he glanced at the screen.

Yanna noticed his expression change. "What's wrong?"

Fox hesitated, unsure if he should share Rikka's words. But honesty had become their foundation, and he decided to be open. "It's Rikka. She sent me a text about you..."
