In the car, Caroline took the other side of the seat in front, and relaxed her back.
The air around her was cold, even whiffs of cold were very evident from her hot breathing.
Dennis, who finally got in and made sure his seat belt was put on, had already set off before them, leaving the university with her.
Before that, he turned and looked at her.
The pale and translucent skin of the male young man in front of him seemed almost healthy as a result of the weather, far from disease.
He took a deep breath, sighed, then stretched out his hand to her cheek without thinking, reassuringly.
His expression was earnest and stern.
Sensing the coldness of his extremities, Caroline silently shivered, as a natural reaction.
"Are you okay?" He sighed, smiling softly. She reciprocated it with a slight nod of the head.
"It's all thanks to you!" She summed it up, praising him.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, secretly.
