"Is that so? I understand. You were afraid I'd betray you, right?"
"Thank you for being understanding."
"It's alright. I understand. After all, we just met. It's not easy to gain trust."
The two returned to enjoying the late night with a bottle of wine in Aaron's hand. Annie loved it, never refusing when Aaron offered it.
Before they knew it, two hours had passed, and the bottle of wine in Aaron's hand was completely empty. Annie looked at the clock; it was two after midnight.
She said she was happy to have friends in her house, the situation became lively even though Annie didn't know Aaron and his group members well.
Aaron cleared his throat. He also felt grateful to have a temporary shelter until the raid reopened. Annie said if Aaron wanted to sleep, she had prepared a blanket in the wardrobe in Isabella's bedroom.
"Thank you for allowing us to stay here for a while," Aaron said.
