Chapter 135: Sugar and Shadows
Orion had lost count of the amount of stalls they explored. As long as it looked interesting to Sophia, she made sure to visit it and drag him along too.
He searched for every opportunity to escape but it seemed like she was able to detect his movements. How she was so perceptive when it came to him, he would never know. But she was.
Sophia's hand shot out, catching Orion's sleeve before he could retreat toward the quieter edges.
"Oh no, you don't," she said, a grin tugging at her lips. "You're not escaping yet."
He sighed, but the hint of amusement betrayed him. "I was just going to take a quick rest."
She narrowed her eyes at him.
"I'm being honest." He told her with his hands raised.
"Quick rest or not, you are not going anywhere yet. There are still stalls to explore." She told him, tugging him toward a brightly lit stall. "Come on! You have to try this one."
