I wasn't surprised that Hugo didn't let me go for a long time. Even when I fell asleep in the middle of our journey, I still woke up in his arms. Although Hugo seemed he had recovered now, he still had me locked in his arms.
"Am I not heavy?" I asked, staring at him while he was leaning back. "Don't your legs feel numb?"
Hugo glanced down at me. "Bambi, you weigh like a parliament."
"That is an exaggeration."
"Just stay here," he said, peeling his eyes away from me to the window. "I feel reassured when you are close. Who knows where you will go once I let you go?"
"Where else would I go?" I frowned and let out a deep exhale. Hugo didn't reply anymore. So, my gaze also followed where he was gazing at.
It was already dusk, and we're still on the road. Just when I was about to get lost in the beautiful color of tangerine covering the sky, I jumped away at the head that appeared outside the window. Fortunately, Hugo was holding me, so I didn't stumble down.
