Melva was both concerned and flattered at what Vance said to her. He openly mentioned that he was unable to live without her. It was more concerning than flattering, more exactly. He had become too dependent on her presence by his side. What if they were separated again? And this time was longer than before? How could he survive then?

"Did you see that?" asked Melva in disbelief, pointing towards the direction where she had seen the short creature earlier.
"See what? I did not see anything." Vance was narrowing his eyes, looking at where her hand was pointing towards.
