When Eric and Evangeline finally got out of the Horror house, people shot them weird glances. Some lingered their eyes while some stole a glance. It was apparent that they were used to such scenes already. Ladies were fainting while the male carried them outside. It was a regular occurrence in the horror house.
Eric decided to take a moment's rest at a nearby bench. Still, Evangeline showed no sign of detaching herself from him. And of course, he too didn't mind that she was clinging to him so tight.
Straddling her on the chair, he tenderly stroked her back and hair. She was still hiding her face from everyone, and he thought she must be embarrassed.
They remained like that while they wait for Daniel and Lilybella to come out. Until Evangeline moved and gradually pulled herself away from Eric.
Head lowered, voice a little weak, she said, "Eric, I'm thirsty . . ."
