"Okay."
Hearing Jonah agree, Sophie spoke up, "We shouldn't waste our time here; let's try to get there before it gets dark."
Jonah nodded in agreement.
The two of them set off toward the location Reece had given them, one following the other.
The sky gradually darkened.
Sophie and Jonah pushed through the thick fog before finally arriving at their destination.
What they found was a secluded valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
"According to the map, we should have arrived at the meeting point by now."
Jonah glanced down at the map, confirming their arrival.
Sophie looked around, hoping to catch sight of Reece, but after a brief search, there was no sign of him.
Frowning, Sophie wondered if Reece had failed to come to the agreed location.
"I'm right here."
Reece's voice suddenly came from behind.
Sophie swiftly turned around and indeed saw Reece standing there in a crisp white shirt.
"Reece, where is Odie?"
Sophie got straight to the point, skipping any unnecessary pleasantries.
Reece replied, "I didn't force him. He came here on his own."
Reece's tone was as gentle as ever, but his presence made Sophie feel strangely distant.
