All his adult life, Arthur was sure that gentle and soft ladies were his type.

However, everything changed with your arrival at the camp. A daring, arrogant and absolutely unbearable woman with whom it is simply unrealistic to have a serious dialogue!

Your hands were busy cleaning the knife until, exactly until the moment you noticed his gaze into your face out of the corner of your eye, and you raised your head, as if asking what he needed from you.

He was grateful that the glow of the fire made the faint blush on his cheeks invisible, but he muttered almost embarrassed -
