Anniversary Vacation

When they returned home, Ren talked to Fae. He wanted to know why Fae had suddenly decided to go alone. 

"You don't usually like this," said Ren as he looked at Fae who was still sitting with her body trembling slightly on his lap. "Is something bothering you? Is there anything you didn't tell me?"

Fae just remembered that earlier she had decided to go out on her own to calm her mind because she was disappointed by her canceled promotion. She did not think that when she was alone, Hendrik would find her and attempt to kidnap her.

"I'm just having a lot on my mind." Finally, the girl answered softly. "I didn't think he would dare bother me in a public place. I didn't go alone to a lonely and dark place."
