Chapter 6
Э
Ethan finished setting up the tent and brought out food and water for me.
He sprawled out casually on the mat next to me, hands behind his head, gazing at the starlit sky.
“Hey, you should try lying down to look at the stars like this. It’s a whole different experience.”
In the Lockwood household. I was always bound by etiquette, everything I did had to befit Mrs. Lockwood’s status. What I heard most often was “Madam, you shouldn’t do that.”
Lying down to watch the stars like this was something I had never even considered before.
But now, Ethan didn’t give me time to think about it.
He had already reached out, pulled me down, and I found myself on the mat instead of the chair, “Lie down, quick!”
I didn’t stand on ceremony anymore and did as he said.
Once I lay down, the starlit sky seemed right before my eyes, as if I could touch it by reaching out. Ethan and lay there, gazing at the vast starlit sky, chatting about everything under the sun.
And in my heart. I made a decision.
To bravely step out into the world.
Running away was just an act of avoidance.
I should go out and make new friends, experience the vast world out there, until even if he stood right in front of me, it would no longer matter.
In the dead of night. I fell into a deep slumber.
