Max mumbled "shit" as he slid completely under the shade of a tree. He inhaled deeply while keeping his chest tight. He had been fearful of it, and now it actually happened. Camilla became conscious of the fact that she was being watched.
Max said quietly, "Please, God." When he heard the sound of water splashing, it appeared that she had emerged from the water. Max rubbed his head against the tree, and if it were possible, he would go into the tree right away. He was pleading with God to stop Camilla from coming over and confronting him. Max finally noticed that no one was approaching his side after a lengthy period. He frowned as he wondered whether Camilla had left. Max gently snuck a glance behind him out of curiosity. When Camilla was nowhere to be seen, he widened his eyes.
