LOGINEver since last week’s blizzard devastated part of the base, Poppy had been extremely busy with her work evacuating the injured.
However, Poppy realised that with each passing day, Evander was drifting further away from her; she felt a deep sense of loss when she realised this.
“I never expected him to distance himself from me this much,” Poppy muttered, lost in thought.
Poppy blinked in confusion when she heard what Evander said.What on earth did Evander want to tell them that he looked so distressed?At that moment, Poppy sensed that something was wrong with Evander.So after hearing what Evander said, Poppy and the others decided to sit around the campfire.The temperature was already starting to drop as night approached, so they lit the fire a little earlier than usual.“So what do you want to tell us?” Poppy finally asked Evander again.“It’s not anything serious, is it, Evan?” Lily looked worried, seeing how serious Evander was.“As long as we can do it, we’ll definitely help you, Evan.” Jason a
“Is there someone you know in that crowd of strangers, Evan?” Poppy immediately turned to look at Evander when she heard him mention a name.Evander blinked nervously when he heard Poppy’s words.Lily and Jason, who had also heard it, turned around to look at Evander, who looked nervous.“Yeah, I think I saw someone I know among those people,” Evander finally replied.Feeling that he couldn’t dodge the question, Evander was forced to answer honestly.Actually, Evander didn’t intend to hide this from his friends either.“Should we take a closer look at them?” Poppy suggested to Evander.“You’re right, Poppy. Who knows, it might really b
Poppy woke up when she heard a loud knock on the door; even then, she hadn’t yet realised she wasn’t in her own yard.When Poppy felt movement beside her, she finally woke up with wide eyes.“Oh my gosh, where am I?” Poppy immediately looked around in a panic.Out of the corner of her eye, Poppy saw Charles and only then did she realise what had happened to her.“How could I have forgotten about this…” Poppy gently hit her head.Poppy remembered that she had promised Lily she’d help her and Jason at the kiosk today, so she intended to leave Charles’s house immediately.But just as Poppy walked toward the door, her steps halted when she overheard Charles talking with a visitor.
“How about I help you guys at the kiosk tomorrow?” Poppy said proudly, looking at the stove they had built.“Is that okay, Poppy? Don’t you have to work at the north unit?” Lily tilted her head in confusion.“It’s fine, I’ve already asked for a day off.” Poppy grinned.“Yay! I’m so glad you can join us.” Lily ran over and hugged Poppy.“By the way, hasn’t Evan come back yet?” Jason glanced toward the entrance gate to their yard.Poppy realised this too; she’d actually been waiting for Evander to come home since earlier, but he still hadn’t returned.To be honest, Poppy really wanted to follow Evander to the base’s warehouse, but she was sure he wouldn’t be happy if he saw her comi
Ever since last week’s blizzard devastated part of the base, Poppy had been extremely busy with her work evacuating the injured.However, Poppy realised that with each passing day, Evander was drifting further away from her; she felt a deep sense of loss when she realised this.“I never expected him to distance himself from me this much,” Poppy muttered, lost in thought.Poppy was currently walking home from the northern unit; before heading home, she planned to stop by Jason and Lily’s shop first.But when she realised it, Poppy had to turn back—she’d been so deep in thought that she hadn’t noticed she’d already passed the turn she needed to take.“Oh my god! That damn Evander, I have to find him right away and talk this thr
“What’s going on, Poppy? We’ve only sold five bowls of soup today,” said Lily as she hugged Poppy, a sad look on her face.Poppy fell silent upon hearing Lily’s sadness; she hadn’t expected the stall to turn out this way.Actually, Poppy thought it was normal since this was their first day trying to sell food.“Don’t be discouraged; after all, this is only your first day selling, right?” said Poppy with a wry smile, feeling unsure of her own words.“I think so too,” Evander replied, reluctantly agreeing with Poppy.“You’re right. I guess I should wait and see how things go over the next few days before jumping to conclusions,” Jason replied, beginning to reflect on his two friends’ words.
