Suzy nodded, brushing aside the damp strands of hair clinging to her forehead.
Her face was dotted with raindrops, leaving her looking thoroughly bedraggled.
"This weather is seriously unnatural," Leonard muttered.
He didn't look any better. Rain had already seeped through his coat, leaving his clothes underneath cold, wet, and uncomfortably sticky.
The two of them paused to adjust their rain gear.
As Suzy fussed with hers, she vaguely sensed a gaze resting on her. She looked up—and met Thomas's eyes.
He stood directly across from her, his dark, hawk-like gaze fixed intently on her.
Her heartbeat skipped. "What is it?"
"Nothing." He lowered his eyes.
Suzy looked away, puzzled, though her cheeks warmed without her realizing.
"Alright, let's move."
Leonard finished inflating the raft, and the three of them set off toward a nearby shopping mall.
This time, Suzy and Leonard had a clear objective—gold, jade, and antiques.
