Waking up in Boston seemed to be a shocking experience for Rosanna. She fell asleep while they were still traversing Appalachia and the nearby Berkshire County.
The moment she opened her eyes because of the stark morning daylight, the mountains she once saw were now tall concrete buildings. The road was not made of soil and rocks, and people were everywhere.
Rosanna didn't know when the shadow support in the motorbike changed, but she was now behind Noah—with her feet on the footrests that were tweaked for her short legs. She then just clutched the shirt on the sides of Noah's waist.
"Don't be too scared. Mephy asked me to take care of you, remember?" Noah spoke loudly so Rosanna could hear him through their helmets. They were on a red light stop so he was only keeping the bike from going off-balance.
"Okay." Rosanna didn't know if Noah heard her murmur, but she didn't want to speak too loud.
