Many women stare at Emy and Reed as they jog within the village together. Although everyone looks twice at Reed, he doesn't seem to notice any of them. Emy smiled, feeling 15 percent lucky because she was the only woman Reed saw, but 85 percent unlucky because he didn't love her.
Reed observed her taking several deep breaths. Reed came to a halt.
"Hey, let's take a break and get some rest," Reed suggested.
Reed wrapped his hand around her hip, which caught her off guard. She abruptly bent her head in shame. Everyone was staring at them.
Reed asked, "I'm curious, when will your stomach expand? I'm so excited!"
Emy took a deep breath. Reed noticed that Emy was breathing heavily.
"Hey, is there something wrong?" Did Reed ask? "I noticed that you keep sighing."
"I'm doing alright. I'm just lost in thought." Emy said.
"Do you mind sharing what you were thinking?" Reed asked.
