Chapitre 73: A walk in the garden - Part 3

"Get off me!" he shouted, but his hands were contradictory to his words as they were holding my hands that were hanging around his shoulders.

"I won't let you take the win," I said, still clinging to his back. As he was taller than me by a few inches, my feet were no longer touching the ground and were dangling mid-air. Luke seemed to have no difficulties in having me on his back, but he couldn't advance further to the finish line because he would be taking me with him if he did.
