"Luca, help me step over this rock, please!"
I scowled to myself as I pushed past Luca, who was helping Cece traverse the rocky path of the woods.
What rock? It's not even that big! What's so hard about avoiding a stupid piece of rock and choosing to step on flatter terrain anyway? Why did Cece have to ask him for help?
And why did Luca even invite her to come with us in the first place?
Ugh!
I'm so annoyed.
Earlier today, I was very excited when Luca told me that we would start on survivability lessons. Because that would mean going to the woods, a place that felt more like home than my actual home.
But Luca soon dashed my excitement when he suggested that we invite Cece along.
"Why?" I asked, trying to hide the desperation from showing in my voice.
Was it because of what happened yesterday? That heart-racing, breath-taking, euphoric moment of pure bliss between us?
