The five already started rolling out while Adam and I are still on the same spot. He lent his eyes to me. At first, I was hesitant. Thinking I might fall, there’s something inside me that doesn’t want to grab it. However, in the end, I still accepted his hands as Adam assisted me in sitting on it with him.
