He seemed to have thrown all notions of image aside .
Yoni guys dont need to envy me , Stellan said , casually waving a hand .
Its only a 30 or 10 pound fish , caught by Odalys .
If you want one like it , just have Sophia catch you one .
He kept repeating the 30 or 40 pounds like he was afraid no one would realize the fishs size .
It seemed like all fishermen liked to show off their catches , but Stellan was no exception .
In fact , he was almost showing off his fish catching skills .
Well , forget it Francis shook his head and muttered , still envious of Stellan , but feeling helpless .
There was nothing he could do , except to envy hum from afar .
As for Sophia , he had already given up on her She didnt drag him down , and that was good enough , He only hoped she would stay out of sight otherwise , they might starve .
We should go , see if we can catch another fish and roast it later , Francis said as he rolled up his sleeves , ready to dive into the task .
Finnians eyes darkened as they followed Odalys , He noticed her clothes were soaked , her hair slightly damp , but she still walked with an air of freshness , chatting and laughing with the others in the group .
It left him with an uncomfortable feeling in his chest .
He couldnt help but wonder , Why is she so friendly with everyone else but so cold towards me ? She wont even spare me a second glance Odalys : Finnian stepped in front of her , blocking her path .
The moment he appeared Odalys smile fro froze .
She gave him a cold glance and asked , Is there something you need ? Is there any clunce for us ? Finnians voice was hoarse , his laeart heavy with the weight of the question that had been gnawing at him for so long .
He knew it was pointless , yet he still asked Not before , and not in the future , Odalys responded sharply , her tone leaving no room for doubt .
Finians smile turned butter , and his fist clenched involuntarily .

The sight of h exspuste face , filled with quiet pride , was blinding her pale .
Mae turver looked at lum not even once when she spoke .
It was as if he didnt exist in her w world at all .
Finnian staggered slightly , feeling as though something had been ripped out of him .
He regretted everything He lliought .
If I had known this would happen .

Odalys smiled , clearly delighted .
As she walked back , she noticed some wild chili peppers growing heart bamboo grove Turning , she swiftly plucked a handfid of small chilies and resumed her brisk walk , completely unaware that Finnian was following her from a distance , never too far behind .
