Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief when he finally saw Nancy after he pushed the curtains Drenched in cold sweat, he had been terrified, thinking she had really gone missing.

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.

“Why aren’t you wearing warmer clothes?” Nicholas asked with a hint of frustration. How can she treat her body this way? Does she not know that I’ll be devastated if she falls ill?
