Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane walked slowly back, reached the roadside, and waited for the red light.
When the green light came on, they were about to walk when Daisy Zane took a step forward and stopped.
Kevin Clark also stopped: "What's wrong?"
"My shoelace is untied." Daisy Zane handed the ice cream to Kevin Clark and started to fix her skirt, trying to squat down to tie her shoelace.
Seeing this, Kevin Clark helped her stand straight, handed back the ice cream, and squatted down himself.
Daisy Zane's feet unconsciously wanted to move back a little, but she didn't. She looked down at the top of Kevin Clark's head.
She was wearing high heels today, with somewhat complicated laces that needed to be wound around her ankles a few times. They had come undone after walking for too long.
So, Kevin Clark squatting on the ground took some effort.
At this moment, across the street.
A car drove past the side gate of the Doomsday Hotel.
