After spending their time in the amusement park and having dinner in one of the closest diners, Julie and Roman decided to return to Veteris.
Julie, whose arms had circled Roman's waist, stared at the large gates, remembering her uncle's words the first time they had shown up here. Of how this place looked like a prison, she should have known that something was up here.
"Rome," Julie called him, and Roman turned his head to give her attention. "Can we take a walk in the forest?"
"I don't see why not," replied Roman, and he rode the motorcycle to the left side of the road before stopping it. "Don't want to head back to the Dormitorium yet?" he asked, helping her remove the helmet and letting it hang on one of the motorcycle's handles.
She knew they would have company if they were to go to the Dormitorium. Not that she disliked it, but right now, she wanted to spend just a few more minutes alone with Roman.
