Her face seems perfectly fine for someone who had been walking for an hour so as the other sisters. She fought the urge to stop and rest her aching leg and throbbing back. She swallowed her complaint and continued walking ahead alongside Julian who hadn't spoken for a while except now.
"I don't have any question" Irene blurt out despite trying to sound calm and nice. And hearing her own voice made her realized how much it hurts cause of lack of water, why was she punishing here?! That was the only thing she wanted to yell out.4
