Nancy remained seated by the window in silence. She leaned against the adjacent wall, her dark eyes fixated on the round moon in the sky. Her strength was depleted, and most importantly, she didn’t want to talk to him at all.

It was only at this moment that he noticed how lightly she was dressed. When the wind stirred, the corners of her attire fluttered, providing no defense against the biting cold.
