Viktor took his own sweet time showering, and after coming out, he took out the scarf Umilia gave him and smelled it, enjoying her smell that was still lingering on it.
One part of his mind was telling him that he shouldn't use this scarf and instead keep it safely so that it wouldn't suffer any wear and tear. But the other part of his mind was saying that he should use it whenever needed so that it could remind him of her whenever he had it wound across his neck.
But now, since he was not exactly in a cold place and was going to the beach, he felt that he could use this if he was going somewhere cold.
Still holding the scarf in his hand and being away from her, he realized that he was already starting to miss her even though it has been just a few days since he met her.
