“…Alright.”
A deep, rumbling growl echoed through the woods again. Tarquin quickly turned to Evan, desperate for a distraction.
“How on earth are you making that growling noise?”
“Growling? Oh! Not me—it’s him!”
With a theatrical flourish, Evan yanked the sheets aside, revealing the truth.
Tarquin’s heart skipped a beat. It was a bear—a real, hulking bear!
Evan was perched on its shoulders, clutching its ears and kicking his little legs in excitement.
“This is my new friend, Benny! Benny, say hi to my dad!”
The massive black bear looked seriously unimpressed. It let out a thunderous roar, right at Tarquin.
The sound rattled Tarquin’s bones. It was like the bear was venting all its pent-up frustration directly at him.
Tarquin’s lips twitched. Was he really the easiest target here? Did Benny the Bear think he was just a pushover?
“Alright, let’s get moving,” the old man cut in, already turning away. “Your grandma said we need to wrap this up quick. She and Elysia are waiting for us to get home for dinner.”
As the old man started to scurry off, Tarquin called after him, “Bernard.”
Bernard turned, “Yeah?”
Tarquin glanced at Evan. “Evan, did you tell Bernard about…that man?”
Evan blinked, suddenly remembering the scarred man he’d met earlier.
His brows furrowed with concern. He hopped down from Benny’s back and ran over to Bernard.
“Bernard, do you know an old man with scars all over his face?”
“Huh?”
Instead of explaining, Evan demonstrated a few moves right there in front of Bernard. “He showed me these.”
Bernard’s expression darkened instantly, the lightness vanishing from his face.
