Byron had relaxed and his bubble was drifting toward the group around the bonfire, but this time, downward.
When a few meters to reach them, a person from the group saw him and rose to her feet.
Her auburn hair said she was Gillian.
After staring at him for a few seconds as if to make sure that it really was him, she pointed at him as her mouth fell open.
"It's Byron!"
Now he was near the ground. She could see him smiling at her. She smiled back and ran toward him, her arms ready to wrap around his body once she reached him.
At that instant, the whole group turned to stare at him, some rising to their feet and others letting out a sigh of relief.
Byron didn't know why Kyron was among those who let out a sigh of relief. Was he not faking it?
'Don't stress yourself! You have a beauty to hug.'
