Joanna's POV:
I walked ahead and finally caught Sylvia's trail through some footprints she had left in the sand and soil.
Harry followed me. He sighed periodically, but I didn't know what was running through his mind.
He wasn't going to tell me if I asked him anyway. It was better for me to hold my tongue.
Soon, we followed Sylvia to a vast open grassland. We had to move forward in a half-crouch through the sparse grass.
"Hold on for a minute. My shoelaces have come loose."
Harry's hurried whisper came from behind.
I reluctantly turned around and saw him crouched on the ground trying to tie his shoelaces.
Even though he usually dressed smartly and always tried to be the best at everything, he was, in fact, a fool who didn't even know how to tie his shoelaces properly.
I supposed this was normal though. Almost everyone had something in their life that they just couldn't master. Warren, for example, was an excellent cook, but he was still a messy man who was unable to fold his clothes neatly. When he would get bored of folding them, he would simply ball them up and toss them in the closet. As for Harry, he was good with his hands. However, when it came to tying his shoelaces, even though he must have practiced it several hundred times, his fingers still moved clumsily.
I sighed and got closer to him. Batting his hand away, I tied his laces for him.
"I want a bowknot."
This man had so many demands.
I didn't say anything. I held the shoelaces with both hands and made two turns. A bowknot took shape easily.
It was not until I fulfilled Harry's demand that he graced me with a smile for the first time today.
"You are really good at tying shoelaces."
He was such a fool!
I shot him a glance and realized that even if he was bent low, he was still likely to be noticed. He was too tall.
"Turn into your wolf form and follow me." After giving him that instruction, I spun around and continued following Sylvia.
