The mountainside resort was nestled in the heart of a dense forest, its surroundings tranquil yet teeming with life. Towering trees lined the winding paths, their dense canopy blocking most of the sun, leaving patches of sunlight to dance on the forest floor.
Fucking creepy.
The guy I was partnered with, who I now know is named Edward, had decided to stay behind, claiming the task of scavenging for vegetables wasn't worth his time. He lazily lounged in the fields, picking a few vegetables here and there, offering no help with the more demanding part of the hunt.
It suited me just fine. I honestly preferred the solitude.
As I stood at the starting point of the scavenger hunt, the sound of footsteps alerted me to the presence of that Ayla girl. She slinked toward Lucas.
"Lucas," she cooed, "I was thinking we could pair up for this hunt. You know, like we did back in the day?"
Back in the day?
