Aveling packed the small cookies into the bag, making sure everything was secure se she said. Since we're short of time, I made some food that will stay fresh and still taste good. You can eat it on the road. Selena blinked, then quickly ran over and hugged her tightly. "Ave, you're too good to me! Why don't we just run away together?"

Aveline smiled. "Alright, enough of that. Go wash your face-I'll drive you to the outskirts."

Selena needed to be at the bus stop in the early morning, so she had to head out tonight.

But Selena shook her head. "No need. I've already arranged for someone to pick me up, You should stay home and rest. I'll be fine."

However, Aveline insisted, "No, I won't feel at ease unless I personally take you."

Seeing how determined Aveline looked, Selena knew Aveline had made up her mind. She hugged Aveline tightly and said, "I'm really going to miss you!"

Aveline guided Selena to the bathroom and watched as she freshened up, while she went over the packed items one last time: food, drinks, and a few basic disposable toiletries.

Yes, it looked like she had packed everything.

After finishing up, they sat together for a while before finally heading out at two in the morning.

The late-night streets of Cloudflare City were quiet, with hardly any cars or pedestrians in sight. As Aveline drove toward the outskirts, Selena kept talking about her hopes for the future.
