An incomprehensible amount of time passed. Jerry couldn't tell how long, but it felt like forever.
The duo waited in the garden, setting up a well-laid structure they could rest their backs on while waiting for Jared to return.
Jerry knew he had to stick very close to Ciara—especially due to the darkened conditions of the area—so they were currently cuddling.
It reminded him of old times.
'Still… am I not a bit sweaty? Do I smell? Is she just enduring it? Ah, this is so embarrassing…'
Still, the mere fact that Ciara was comforted by his presence made him, at the very least, feel a little better about himself.
The mission was a bust.
Not only that, but they were now waiting to be rescued by Jared.
'I would have tried to scout the area… or perhaps look at the area from a higher ground, but…'
It was better to just wait for Jared. Not only did they have no idea where they were, but they also didn't know how long it would take to get home.
