Stuck in you

Jack caught up with Rachel, asking why she was angry.

She could feel the warmth of his palm again.

She endured the embarrassment silently and said, "Don't worry about me. You should go back! I'll walk around by myself for a while and look for my friends."

Jack pretended not to understand her. "Your friends? Who else came with you other than Lucas?" he asked.

"Lea."

Jack remembered that Rick had told him that Lucas had brought two women with him. So the other one was Lea.

There was no doubt that Lucas maintained a good relationship with them.

Jack said, "You have an unusual relationship with Lucas,"

He abruptly stopped. 'Am I getting jealous?' he asked himself inwardly.

Rachel thought otherwise, thinking that he just wanted to know why she and Lucas were really close.

She explained subconsciously, "We have been friends for nearly ten years."

She had been friends with Lucas for nearly ten years, meaning that they had known each other since they were around fifteen or sixteen years old. It was strange not easy for them to maintain such a long-term friendship.

Jack's heart skipped a beat.

A soft breeze came as they stood near the window.

Outside, the fireworks exploded,

adorning the night sky.

Neither of them talked at that time. They stood in the comfort of the silence as they observed the magnificent parade in the sky.

After a moment's silence, another round started. Rachel got startled by the noise of firecrackers.

Before she could react, Jack already reached out to hold her. The fireworks were more intense this time.

When Rachel came to her senses, she had found herself leaning against Jack's chest.

He frowned and asked, "Are you scared?"

Rachel was frightened by the fireworks, but now... she was more uncomfortable with him like this.

Rachel pushed him away immediately. There had been so much physical contact between them the last few days alone than there ever had been in the last five years.

She raised her hand to put aside a strand of hair from her face. Her heart galloped in her chest. "I need to look for them now."
