The Moon and Her Secret

　　After lunch, one by one everyone dispersed to head back to their designated jobs. Soon, River and Lana were alone at the bench. Lana was quick to move away from him once she had the opportunity. She noticed River’s breathing was unsteady and decided to get up. Her sudden movement made him look at her.


　　“Where are you going?” he asked, his voice hoarse.


　　“Didn’t you say you wanted to go together?”


　　“Y-Yeah but are you okay…? I’m sorry I was pressed against you like that…you must’ve been really uncomfortable.” She muttered.


　　River then got up and put on his cap, covering his eyes from Lana. “I’m fine. Let’s go, I’ll drive us there.”


　　“Are you sure…maybe you should go without me just so you can catch your breath?” she suggested, really hoping that River would consider doing that since he did not look his best right now.
