Theo took one look, then pocketed his phone, completely ignoring it.
Ellinor leaned against the steel railing of Donebridge, her hair billowing beautifully in the river wind, looking incredibly elegant.
She looked out at The Bund of Trent River, where she could see the tallest skyscraper in Greenhaven...
"Watch it, don't fall off!"
The man behind her grabbed her collar, just like he was grabbing a little rabbit.
In three seconds flat, the man ruined Ellinor's beautiful moment.
He lifted her off her feet, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable...
Sometimes she really thought the man treated her like a helpless child, always managing her like this, it was so annoying!
"Let go of me! I'm not stupid, I wouldn't let myself fall off!"
Theo put her down further from the bridge, letting her feet touch the ground.
Then, Theo looked down at her, "You think you're not stupid?"
"Of course I'm not stupid!"
"If you're not stupid, why can't you understand anything?"
"What don't I understand?"
"Think about it yourself." The man looked disappointed.
Ellinor thought he was really boring: "When is your person coming to pick us up?"
Theo put his hands in his pockets and looked out at the river: "No one's coming to pick us up."
What?
