Heart Beat

Andrea was seen holding her leg, which felt sore.

"You are okay?" asked Anthony.

Andrea glanced sharply at the younger brother of Christopher Evans.

"My brother told me that you can ride the horse when she comes back," Anthony said to Andrea in the hallway leading to the dormitory.

The guard observed the two of them occasionally.

"I have nothing to do with this woman. Someone bigger than me has made a stamp on her," said Anthony to the guard.

"Why do you have to explain to them? Even if you don't explain, they will know," said Andrea, holding her leg.

"Take a warm bath. You'll be better off. Go to bed early," Anthony said as he walked away.

"A - Anthony," Andrea called softly.

Anthony turned to Andrea. "What?"

"Will he be gone for long?" Andrea asked.

Anthony didn't answer, just smiled.
