The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

“I’m going to look around for some dry firewood. We need to start a fire; otherwise, the temperature in the dense forest will drop sharply when night falls. It’s going to get very cold.”

Wesley said so, then proceeded to unload the tent he had been carrying with him.

“I have four tents here. Let’s set them up together.”

Upon hearing this, the members of the Cox family immediately came over to help.

Neera was a bit worried. “Are you sure it’s okay to go alone? Maybe we should get a couple more people to go with you.”

Wesley declined, “It’s okay. Everyone is getting ready to find a place to rest at this time, and I won’t go far. There won’t be any danger. Please rest assured, Miss.”

Before long, he had left.

Shane helped set up the tents and asked, “Neera, are you okay with staying in a tent by yourself?”

Among those present, she was the only woman. Neera had no objections and asked naturally, “Alright, what about you guys?”

“We’re all grown men here, so no worries. We’ll split a tent among the three of us, and each of us will take turns standing guard, specifically at the entrance of your tent. You can rest easy at night and get a good night’s sleep.”

Neera felt somewhat embarrassed by their attentive care. “Perhaps, I should join you in guarding the place tonight.”

-Shane raised an eyebrow, “With so many grown men around, there’s no need for a young lady like you to stand

guard. Don’t worry about it too much. Just get some rest is what’s really important.”
