Dahlia was not in a good mood tonight. She said coldly, "She's such a weird woman. Why doesn't she have diarrhea earlier or later? Why does she have to make a fuss at a time like this? Is she thinking about doing something else?"
Rainie quipped, "Dahlia, you don't seem to like Miss Zanes either!"
Dahlia snorted. "For a woman like her, perhaps only men will like her. Women will hate her when they see her."
I didn't pay attention to their discussion. Suddenly, I saw a place that was particularly dark in the middle of the mountain. Curious, I walked over there.
"Ah!!!" Before I could take more than a few steps, the ground beneath me gave way and I fell!
"Arianna!" Rainie cried out in panic.
I've seemed to have fallen into a hole with no way out. I said, "Rainie, call Naomi, please. This hole seems to be quite deep."
"Okay, don't be afraid. I'll call them right away!" Rainie comforted me and said.
When I reached into my pocket, I couldn't find my cell phone. Maybe it slipped out when I fell.
I fumbled and patted the ground around me for a long time, only to find nothing but dirt. I still couldn't find my cell phone. The pit was too dark and I couldn't see anything.
I was afraid that I might touch a snake or a bug, so I finally gave up just sat on the ground, my knees hugged to my chest, and didn't dare to do anything else.
She nodded, but she was still brooding. "But didn't Tina say there might be landslides? What if it rains?"
I didn't need that reminder. But I summoned my courage and said, "It won't happen, Naomi said that she looked up the weather forecast today. It won't rain!"
She hummed an unconvincing agreement but thankfully she still lay next to the hole. It was likely that she was also agonizing in her heart. She kept chatting with me as a distraction. "Arianna, such an outstanding man like Hendrix is hard to find. Would you regret it if you gave up like this?"
I thought for a moment and answered honestly, "I'll regret it, but don't we all have regrets in life?"
"That's true!" She nodded and sighed. "You said that Rowane really is..."
